I know about k2s jib rocker and all that jazz and I have heard domains are super durable, but the Ar7s are lightter right? I can get Ar7s for 399$ And I can get dDomains for 329$ +k for all answers and bumps. Thanks

Height? Weight? Do you ski more jumps or rails?

Lots of variables here.

Oh yeah I ski 5 times a week at least I'm 14, 5' 1" I ski big boy jumps, and rails. A lot. I ride a big ski so I'd get 166 ar7 or 169 domains.

Go with the AR7 if you are hitting bigger jumps. The domain is a fun ski but if you like hitting big jumps the Ar7 will be more stable.

Also as far as durability goes it doesnt get muuch better than the AR7 with their Ar50 sidewall. Super light, really snappy and amazingly durable.

Ar7, don't get k2. It's not just a grudge I have against them but armadas are way better built and better for your style.

Both are great choices. If you hit big jumps you will be better off with ar7s just because they are stiffer. If you hit medium jumps with a variety of rails domains are an excellent choice but I dont think you can go wrong either way here both are top rated skis for sure. Good luck!

i dont like my domains. in comparison to my ar6s they feel dead, heavy and unresponsive. im just not a fan of the park rocker.

Domains and ar7s are two completely different skis. AR7s are very stiff while Domains are pretty soft.
