I'm about 5'10" 135lbs I ski mostly park on the east coast 70-30 jumps to rails I just started park this year so I'm looking for a ski that will help me progress. I mainly hit jumps under 40ft and I'm comfortable doing spins up to 5 I'm looking for a ski that is 90mm or less in the waist, has a low swing weight and is playful but stiff enough for jumps and durable. This year I was on the chronic but I'm looking for something more durable and that has a lower swing weight. So far my choices are moment vices, Scott jib tw, Salomon nfx, and k2 domain. What skis should I get? Any other skis I should look at?

I have the moment vices. They are awesome. Surprisingly lightweight and has a medium flex with a lot of pop. They're swingweight is on point too.

I've heard good things about the K2 domain. People will say that K2 sucks, and they will jump on the K2 hate-bandwagon, but K2 is honestly a good brand, and the domain is a good ski. It is K2s lightest park ski, and has a softer flex than their other models (which is pretty medium in general).

The NFX probably really stiff and heavy like all of their other models.

I know nothing about Scott

I haven't rode them long enough to know. But they are showing no signs of damage thus far. All the reviews I've read, say that they hold up very well
