Having Trouble Deciding What Skis To Buy

[pooptrack]

I'm getting new ski's this year and have narrowed my choices down to the following:

K2 Domain < affordable, buttery, jibbing ski, but probably won't do to well as an all-mountain ski.

K2 Recoil < Slightly more expensive than the Domain, has camber and rocker making it better for all mountain use.

Rossignol scratch < Great ski I've previously used but it's the most expensive out of these, however I know it's durable, light wondering if it's changed at all this year.

Atomic Punx < I've heard great things about how fun this ski is and it's very affordable. It was going to be my first choice however I've heard that they suffer durability issues

I'm 6,2 weight 145 lbs

Ski about 60% park and 40% mountain

Within the park I ski: 60% rails, 40% Jumps

I also ski off mountain sometimes, but mostly groomers, and trees.

I already own a set of power skis.

If anyone who has had any experience on these skis and could provide some input, it would be much appreciated.

owning the punx and domains, id go for the punx any day. i just prefer a lighter more responsive ski, which is super poppy and incredibly maneuverable. howver i have last years model, with the thin edges. so i have many edge cracks. thats the only downside. but this years should supposedly have these issues fixed.

my domains are a burly and buttery ski. they arent very fast and quite a bit heavier than the domains. rocker makes them easy to smear turns and do presses. but they just feel kind of dead to me.

id go for punx.

Punx are wicked durable...their problem is that they aren't an all mountain ski.

I had the S4s only for one season and they are destroyed. I ski about 80% rails 20% jumps. After a full season of about 60-80days i have no edges underfoot, are close to breaking and are pretty much noodles.

Armada AR7 would be my choice.

go for the punx..you get a ton a value for the ski. i've been skiing the Punx and Halo this year and have been stoked with the Punx in the park.

i work for a shop that is going to put atomic and armada on pre-xmas sale soon. PM me and i could probably get you a deal in advance.
