The title really says it all. I'm stuck deciding between the five, if money wasn't a problem I'd buy the Alpha 1 or Iron Maiden's, but if I hear enough I can probably be convinced. I want to try rocker, as you can tell. I'm skiing Afterbangs right now, so I've ridden on camber for 2-3 years. Advanced all mountain skier, Intermediate park skier, mostly rails, no jumps bigger than 40 feet.

Probably to be mounted with Marker Griffon's or Jesters.

Probably the domains, way too good on rails and they are pretty cool looking

i've ridden the domains and recoils which are the same as iron maidens. the domains were fun, real good on rails and for jibs but they were a little heavy for my liking. i got a pair of recoils like 2 weeks ago and i love them. they're just as good on rails, better for jumps because they're stiffer and they rip all over the mountain. also a lot more stable and less chattery. i would highly suggest them, and i'm pretty sure you can get last years for 310 online which is pretty reasonable.

Bump. I am also interested in the domains or the Chronics I want a ski that will rip in the park but also will be great all mountain. I live in the midwest, so if anyone has any suggestions please tell me, but you should consider the line Chronics too I hear they are great from my friends.

i have the halos and i absolutely love them. They are a fantastic park ski, rails are much easier to lock into and the reduced swing weight helps with spins. They have a decent amount of pop and are all round just a fun ski. i highly recommend you check them out.

the domains in my mind are the best ski, they slay on rails because of the zero rocker which greatly reduces the catch, they are also pretty good all over the mountain which i was surprised since they are symmetrical, overall this is one of the best skis if you are looking for something that can kill in the park but still hold its own all over the mountain
