Okay, I'm sick of thinking about this heavily. the last ski I got was 166 and I outgrew it soo:
What size k2 Domain should I get? I'm about 5'9" 165.

I'm in the same boat as you buddy. 5'9". I was looking at Domains, thought about picking them up. I would probably get a 179 if you're down with over-head sizes.

Ya see that's the thing, When I started skiing 6 years ago I was 11 so the height difference is pretty big. And I've only had two pairs since, the last ones were my first twin tips too.... So I have no clue what I should actually be getting.

179 and mount them near center. I did the same thing as you and bought 165's and outgrew them and I'm only 5' 8". I'll probably never buy below a 174 again.

Im same size as you but ski alot less park. Anything between 175-184 for non rockerd. Just picked up 186 Billygoats from ON3P. Thats my Pow ski.
If I was to get a rocked park ski I'd go 182+ at least.

I'd go 179, especially if you're growing. It measures out to ~181.

domains in 179, mount dead center. no point in mounting a symmetrical ski back from center. if you want to do that, get the K2 Recoils in 169.
