Hey guys what up. I am trying to make a choice. I was wondering what ski would be better for me. The k2 Domain or the recoil.
Heres some info about me
i'm 5'7 120 pounds agressive park skier. learning how to hit longer urban rails in the park. I am mainly a jib guy but I can hit keystone's park lane jumps. I can do 3's and 5's.
But mainly the two problems about the domain is they really dont have the size right for me. only a 159 and a 169. So give me feedback and also what would be a good binding to throw on these ski's?

169 is fine for you, especially if you're a jib guy. the domain is better for rails

take your pick between the recoil or domain, one not might be better for you, just pick which one you like. directional, slightly stiffer and different rocker setup, or symmetrical, softer, flat and rocker setup.

recoil is much stiffer than the domain which is really buttery good for rails but if you wanna have fun in the park either is good but recoil is stiffer which can handle better carving they both have a 90 waist so i would go with that personally
