K2 Domains, how will they hold up

so it looks like im going to get some 169 domains and center mount them for this coming season (i ski allot of park but also all over the mountain and i like that they will be easier to butter and all that jazz)... they seem to do what i want and im sure they will be loads of fun in the park problem is how do they hold up on the rest of the mountain? ice, pow and corduroy etc

im currently on a pair of 161 center mounted 09 invaders if you know how they will ride compared?

im worried that due to the rocker and no camber they will be a bit sketchy to ride in general and i wont get as much pop?

maybe i would be better off with another ski or maybe it will be fine, anyones thoughts?

I'm not going to lie, they're not going to be the best all-mountain ski out there. The ice will be the biggest problem (although they'll make it through, it just might be a bit sketchy), they rip fresh-groomed pretty good, and I personally think they ski best in the spring, they just power through slush and crud.

Ive heard all good things about the domains, how tall are you though? You have to get a few sizes bigger because of the amount of ski on snow. They are sick skis though, I almost bought them, but got a really good deal on afterbangs

domains are pretty sick but if you're looking for something more "all-mountain" i'd say look to the Recoil.

im 5'9 weigh 140, i heard the 169's come in at 173 but ski shorter, and since I'm currently riding 161's i think they will be perfect size wise...

i think the thing is i like the ski being symmetrical or at least close to it, i hit more rails and boxes than jumps... and i tend to spend most my time on the mountain messing about skiing back and forwards and all that jazz, unfortunately that puts me in a spot, if i want symmetrical skis, where there are only a limited amount of skis with that and they are all very park orientated.

also i wanted the skis i got to be very flexible and easy to butter and such...

i was considering the afterbangs but i heard they actually weren't that good, so I'm leaning towards the domains...

so i guess my next question is what other symmetrical flexy skis for park (and all mountain ish) are out there? around 90 underfoot give or take...
