K2 Domains or Moment Jibs?

Well, I currently ride the K2 press (169) and the base on my tail has decided to start peeling away with the ski along with the edge (probably an awful explanation). I'm going to BC next week and was planning on getting new skis before the end of the season but figured I'll just get them now.

I'm 5'11 175. I spend most of my time on rails but I'm getting more into jumps usually between 20-35ft and I rarely ski anything besides park since my massive local hill stands 300 ft high and offers a wide selection of 10 or so runs and a park.

I have a choice between moment jibs and k2 domains (both around the same price) and was wondering what would be better for what I do skiing. I'd be getting the jibs in a 182 length or domains in the 179.

I've heard horror stories on the Moments' durability, so for all park, I say the Domain. I'm getting the same ski for the same uses

I posted this in another thread so ill repost it here as well.

The first day on them I hated them as they have a weird feel with 0 camber. I found it was very consistent the amount of pop you get with em and defs a different kind if pop. I find they aren't as soft as people put them out to be as well. They are stiff underfoot and softer as u get to the tip and tell. As people above have said these skis are bombproof, super thick edges and miminimal top sheet chipping. I would highly recommend this ski if your using it for park. Any more questions and feel free to pm me

There's a person at my local hill and he has K2 Domain's, he absolutely loves them. K2 has been around for quite some time and since they have been around for a long time, they are fairly advanced in making skis. You won't be upset if you get them, since K2 is a reliable company. On the otherhand, if you search through any thread about the Moment Jibs you will come to see that there are mixed reviews about them. Some people absolutely hate them and hate on them whenever the opportunity arrises, but also some people say that they are amazing. The main thing that they argue about is the durability for the Jibs. It seems that the durability used to be trash, but as the company (since it's a fairly new one) has grown and become more experienced in ski making, the quality of their product has increased. I'm sure you will be happy with both skis, as I was deciding between two ski's earlier this season as well and have been happy with the choice I made, but I'm 100% positive I would've been happy with the other ones as well. So it's not a big thing to stress about. Hope that helped!

ive never heard anything bad about the domains and they look sweet and I havent heard anything but good things about moment until i searched and read some threads.

I'm gonna go with the domains if I can find them in a shop anywhere near me by tomorrow, if not I'm gonna end up with the jibs.

Thanks a lot
