For my Christmas present, my dad said he would get me my skis and bindings. I was looking at domains because I am more of a rail guy but then I went to this ski store and he said he didnt like them. I am on the "husky" size cuz I am 230 and 6 foot. So, if you have any recommendations just post here

domain, you like or you hate. I personally like them because of the jib rocker(make tail/nose press and buter easier)

I'd go for a stiffer ski since you're a heavy guy. So I don't think the domain would suit your needs; if you want to stick with k2 go with the recoil since they are stiffer.

Other stiffer skis I recommend are the following:
- Armada ar7: Really durable and light, will be lots fun on rails.
- Volkl wall: volkl makes good quality skis, they are symmetrical and quite stable.
- Fischer addict and Fischer addict pro: are both stiff symmetrical skis, the pros are the stiffest.
- Rossignol s4 or scratch (same ski): Really light and rossignol has been making skis for a while.
- Line chronic: Stiff ski that has thick edges which is great for sliding rails all day long.

I'd recommend a stiffer ski, just for your size.
