They are both very good skis, but I prefer the Punx. But to answer your question to what ski is better for "you" We would need to know your height, weight, riding level, and what you are looking to do

pretty similar skis, the domain has no camber and as far as i know the punx does. so depends on if youre more rail or jump oriented, as the domain being a little more suited for rails and the punx being a little more suited for jumps

domains if you like to butter because of the jib rocker. but both skis would be good for you

The DOMAINs are so much more versatile than you woudl believe. It is not a rail-only ski, its a park ski. Jumps, transitions, rails, it does it all . JIB Rocker just keeps it smooth on surface swaps and butters, but the ski is stiff underfoot and very torsionally rigid for edge hold on hard snow.

JIB Rocker, with the flat profile underfoot and lifted tips and tails is actually dope in slush and on soft snow too.

this. I kinda made it sound like its only a rail ski but it definitely isn't. Its just that its amazing on them AND jumps. I've had the domains for 2 seasons and love them

owning the 2011/12 domain and the 2010/13 punx, i must say that i prefer the punx under any circumstance but for pow and slush. they are so much more lively and light, pop like no other and just feel faster edge to edge + really buttery. the domains are only good for my taste in spring snow and butters.

id go for the punx.

I'm also torn between domain or punx, any other thoughts?

Which ski length would be best for me? I'm 170 cm tall (5'7")

And lastly, which bindings do you recommend?

Thx!

Domains also have burlier 3.5mm edges and thicker base material for added durability.
