Getting new skis, and ive narrowed it two to two options:

Salomon Suspects or K2 Domains

Price is not a problem they are both $450

Obviously i ride the park, both rails and jumps

Which ones should i get?

definitely the domains. they last longer and they're super poppy. better all around ski.

I've had both and prefer the domains by a mile, just a ton more fun over the suspects. Found them better at everything and they Are so much more durable

Suspects are so shitty when it comes to durability. I had them last season and they were the shittiest skis I have ever had. I have no experience with the Domains but I would go with over the Suspects anyway.

domain is a buttery ski with rocker, and the suspect is a normal cambered ski that is stiffer. I got the domains this year and i love em! my friend got last years suspects and theyre basically dead after 2 weeks

Go with the domains, i own a pare but havent ridden them yet.( i would look for a better deal i got mine for 280 brand new).

If u do decide to go with the supects, its still a good ski. Just not durable.I have a friend who rode a pare all winter and loved them but by the end of the season they were toast

is there a reason why domains are so cheap? I mean if you compare them to Rossignols or Armadas they'd be the cheapest skis in the line but still I only read good things on them
