T Halls vs. Domains

So my skis are shot and I need to get a new pair for next season. I'm 5'5, 120lbs, and ski on the east coast (lotz of ice) and basically only ride park. I do about 60% rails and 40% jumps. I've been looking at the T Halls and Domains. I'm just not sure whether to go with 166's or 171's on the T Halls. Not sure if 169 Domains would be to big considering that they measure bigger. I rode on 168's this season and rode them fine. Give me your suggestions and opinions on which you think is a better choice. I'm open to any suggestions, just looking for a softer ski that will perform a little better on rails. K+ to good responses

i can tell you that domains rip everything in the park, they are super buttery and tons of fun
as for sizing domains do have a bit of rocker and i think youll be fine on a 169 if you rode a 168 this year

I'd suggest the T-halls in a 166. Super fun ski. Really nice flex pattern to it, just an overall great ski.

domains seem to meet ur criteria best, but remember they are rockered, so get it a bit longer givin u wont have as much edge hold. t halls are good too, a bit stiffer then the very soft domain.

you may want to check out the line masterminds too.

t halls are a lot lighter and more made for park. domains look quite heavy and they are 90 underfoot (thalls 86/87). less underfoot works better on ice. honestly i would go for the t halls

They look heavy so that means they are? My domains are very light

My previous pair of skis were t-halls, and I'm currently riding domains. They're both amazing skis, however I do prefer my domains. They kill it everywhere and hold up really well even on bigger jumps. Such a fun ski.

when it comes to skis there is no "one size fits all" everyone will have their favourites and their least favourites

how old are you? i would suggest a 171 thall they may seem big at first but if you center mount them its really not that bad and armadas durability is almost unbeatable. a 171 ski will last a couple seasons if you are still growing.

I'd say t halls cuz a camber ski will handle better on ice than a rockered ski
