Hey guys, im just lookin for some info on the domains, does anyone have them? how much different are they than normal park skis, with the jib rocker and such? How do they hold up on 40-60 foot jumps? Thanks for any info, +k

I love these skis, super fun all over the mountain. I don't notice the rocker too much in the park unless I'm buttering or pressing. Surface swaps and other rail tricks are easier with no catch. They're pretty lightweight and fairly soft. As far as big jumps, I haven't hit too many with them yet (I ski mostly in CT so we don't have bit jumps and I haven't made it up to Mount Snow this year yet), but they seem fairly stable off smaller/medium jumps (20-30), so as long as you don't land too back seat you'll probably be good with them.

As stated above, surface swaps and butters are super fun with the Jib Rocker. The ski is built to be soft in the extremities, tip and tail, but stiff underfoot so you have a platform to land on and so that the ski is torsionally rigid and can hold an edge on hard snow. We are pretty stoked on how it turned out.

As for big jumps, peep some of Sean Jordan's edits in the video section. He was riding the DOMAINs all spring and summer on MONSTER jumps at Hood and Whistler.

I lapped tremblant's big jump line last weekend on my domains and they held up perfectly on the 50+ ft jumps. The rocker is definitely noticeable when buttering rollers and spinning on boxes/rails. Definitely my favourite park skis so far and I would recommend them to anyone.

They're dope, the flex is perfect For buttering but stiff enough to stomp jumps, graphic is sick too, great work k2

This is HUGE too...being from CT and have a park ski that can still hold an edge after being abused is awesome!! I'm seriously in love with this ski...and will only being riding Domains for the foreseeable future.

they have pretty dope Jib rocker and they are decent jumping skis. they will hold at 40 to 60 foot jumps. but they are the most at home on the rails. they are pretty light to .

The domains are probably the most fun skis I've ever ridden. It's like the perfect combo of everything that was good about the disorderlies and fujatives.
