K2 Domain - 179 or 174

Hey there,

i have the opportunity to buy a pair of new K2 domains for a fairly cheap price inc Griffon Marker bindings, but i don't know if i should buy the 174 or the 179.

i now have a K2 shreditor 184 cm, and i am happy with hem but when i do 360/520 on small kickers they are a bit heavy.. i bought them for 70 % park and 30 % slope, and i really love them for what i bought them for.

but now i can buy a pair of K2 domains, and i would like to have them for park only so i would like to have them as playful as possible, butters, rails, and just funning around. but i also jump 4,8 and 10 meter kickers.

so the question is should i get the 179 or the 174 ski.

I am 23 years old 183CM long , 185 pounds.

i will be using them like 2/3 times a week for 40 weeks a year, because i work at a indoor ski dome.

i hope u understand what i am looking for and thanks in advance !

Greetings.

It seems like the domains are bigger than what they say, I have 164 cms and they are just like half an inch shorter than my jskis in a 171cm

I am 17 years old, 175cm and I have the K2 domain 174cm... they work pretty well and spining isn't that hard, that i would recommend a lower lenght :)

Dude, size up. Try to see if you can find some 185s or 187s.

go big or go home. you'll get used to the bigger size and it will only help your riding.

Then find a different ski in your size. It will be detrimental to your skiing to size down

At the end of the day, there's not a big difference between either choice so you'll be stoked no matter what. It sounds like your main concern is getting a ski that's playful and just based on that I would suggest the 174cm length.

I will be going to the shop today, maybe i can try the 2 size's and then determine what size is best for me.
