the recoil is more of a all mountain/ park ski being both 50% all mountain and park, while the domain is more of the park ski, being 90% park, and 10% all mountain. The press is more of a park ski then the recoil, its not as much of a park ski as the domain, being 40% all mountain and 60% park. The sight is the most of an all mountain ski out of these skis, being 70% all mountain and 30% park. Out of these skis the domain is the best ski for park, but if budget is an issue, then the press being the cheaper of the skis, would also be a great ski for the park. Can't go wrong with any of these skis though, K2 is a great company. Hope this helps

The Domain without a doubt is the softest of them all. Then the Recoil, then the Press and finally the Sight is the stiffest.

recoils are sick, skiied em all summer. they are medium-stiff and have a pretty big sidecut, these things rock at groomers and summer slush because the slight rocker in the tip and tail really make it alot more comfortable going fast and going switch knowing yuou wont catch. they are super fun

I spend more time messing around on natural stuff all over the mountain so I find the Recoil to be best for me. If you're more of a park guy, get on the Domain. Fully symetrical ski so no problem going switch and jib rocker so butters on to rails/boxes will be easy and buttery smooth

Assess your personal skills then decide what's best... for example... what's your weight? what do you like to ski? PARK? how big? jib or jump? etc...

My buddy Ben got the domains... he HATED them... he's 160 and a damn good skier... according to him they were "heavy, soft, and fell apart"

People say the sight/silencer (2011) is the least park oriented because of it's stiffer flex... makes perfect sense for most kids on here who hit 20 foot tables and rails... or who hit 60 foot tables and weigh 135...

but if you're hitting 80 foot step downs and weigh 160 you'll be damn sure wishing you had a little more pop and a little less slop... which i think is what happened to my buddy Ben.

After watching Matt Margetts (sp?) video on them... I got the 2011 silencers... here's what I don't like about them in the park... nothing. They rock (Im 170lbs.)... so I don't feel the stiffer flex pattern the same as most kids on NSers would.

Point is, saying "hey what's the best ski in the park?" doesn't cut it... think about what you like and dislike in a ski... go pick them up at a shop... notice their weight, camber/rocker, flex pattern, sidecut, etc... then decide.
