K2 domain?

Does the K2 Domain ski shorter than its length because of the jib rocker?

I don't think so...its not much rocker and I've been able to carve turns and don't really notice it being shorter than my old K2s in the same size.

How tall are you/what size did you get?

I ride 177 afterbangs now, and I'm not sure if I should get the 179 domain. I don't want them to be too big.

Im maybe 175 and I got 169, remember that k2 measure longer than normal brands. The rocker is very slight, I would say 2-3cm at either end.

I'm 6'1 and got 179s and they're my favorite ski I've ever had. For a size comparison they're about 2-3 inches taller than my friends 178 chronics.

I'm 5'8" and I got 169s (measured out to 173 actually). They're a bit short for me (I normally ski a mid 170 ski), but the 179 (actually 183) is too long for me and I don't really notice them being too short most of the time (occasionally when I'm grabbing spins my grab is a bit off, that's mostly it).

I'm around 5'9"-5'10" and 150 lbs. Would the 179 be too big for me?

I also ride the 177 afterbangs, and they feel like a comfortable size for me.
