I am looking for a symetrical jib ski that is that will last me 2-3 seasons. I ski a bit of jumps but my hill is pretty small and the biggest jump we get are 65ft tops. I haven't heard  much about the punx but I hear the are a soft ski. The domains I hear have a bad top sheet but a bomb proof  base.

Suggestions? +k

the domains do have a bad top sheet but are amazing, they will hold up on 60 footers and are wonderful for rails

Well if Stept crew members use Domains, then that means they must be a billion times better than the Punx. Am I right or am I right?

Seriously now, I've heard great things about each ski. I would just note that I had a friend that ripped the top sheets right of the ski along with his bindings. Yet, I had another that had zero issues and loved them.

Haven't skied either but i have friends that have them and they both love them. They're both quality skis that would hold up on huge jumps, rails, and the streets. I think at this point it would really come down to is whether you like a fat ski or a thin ski and if you want rocker or go traditional.

most of the stept members are sponsored by K2 so thats why they use domains and the other k2 skis over punx

I prefer the Punx. I skied the 2012 for a while an like them more than the domains. There really light an buttery but can hold up on huge jumps. I suggest the Punx, best all around ski (except powder ha)

Out of the 2 I prefer the Domain just cause they lasted longer. But all and all I'm not a big fan of K2 skis. Check out some Armadas. Best park skis around
