i dont know the sizing on the disorderly but for the domain i would say 179... i have 169's and im 5'7 but what do you normally ski on?

for the skis disorderly= camber, domain = flat with rocker
i do love my domains and they are the funnest ski i have ever skied so it kind of depends on what you want

disorderlys measure a little longer. mine do. i don't remember what the difference is but it's longer. I love my skis, but I'd get domains when these die. i tried rockered skis and it was the funnest time i've ever had trying new skis.

I'm riding on the disorderly's right now and they are lots of fun. poppy and good on jumps. also, the graphics are to sick and the bases of the skis reflect on the snow making the snow green. its so sick. the only thing that i dont like about k2 is that the top sheets peel pretty easily. it's not a big deal since it's only on the sides. the side walls hold up great and the edges last! hope this helped. oh and i don't really no much about the domains other than that they are symetrical and are rockered.

I know i'll get flamed for this or told to search but whats the difference better camber and rocker; what do they do and why are they good in their own ways?

*This is my first year freestyle skiing

no worries about asking question

camber has two main contact points the tip and tail, when weight is put on the ski it goes level to the snow shape camber makes skis very poppy but could be thought of as a down side to a ski when hitting rails because the ski curves to meet the general shape of the rail

rocker means that the tip or tail is elevated off of the snow at some degree, rocker has largly grown in park skis and this year k2 put rocker into almost ever ski. rocker with no camber (like the domain) can be thought of a plus when hitting rails simply because the ski does not shape to the rail unless it is being flexed (if you hit a rail hard enough you ski will bend to it) rocker also makes presses and butters come to you effortlessly and i find it is alot more enjoyable to ride a rockered ski however a flat rockered ski will have less pop than a cambered ski so you will have to use your legs to get up on some rails

long story short rocker is the new black in the ski world, i know i will never go back to a straight camber ski
