2 days of jibbing on them and I am absolutely in love with these things.  I can't wait to rip around the hill on them as the season progresses.

Its ridiculous isn't it. I love them, I don't think I've ever had as much fun just skiing groomer runs. They are simply amazing.

K2 makes some of the best park skis ever. And they have a history of making some of the greatest park skis ever. I absolutely love my extremes.

I really don't see whats so funny about it. Its just my honest opinion about a ski company. They do have a history of making some really good skis.

yeah any ski you plan on doing rails you should rub them down with a gummi stone.just lowers the chance of catches edges or eliminates any burs if they are older skis. i would recommend it

It might just be the picture but those look mounted back. Why wouldnt you center mount them? They are a symmetrical ski...

so that lack of camber doesn't hurt them on the east coast ice too much?

look closely and you will see that they are mounted dead center. Look on the bases where the break is and imagine a boot there you will see. but yeah haha when i took the picture i was like damn this doesnt look dead center, but i made sure it was lol.

it's the angle of the picture and the way griffons look on skis cause the nose piece is so small and the heel piece is so long, it just makes them look farther back than they are.

I just got domains, and im puttin px 12s on them. Anyone know what boots would be good for these? I'm somewhat new to the park, so knowing what would be a good set of boots to ride in the parks a big first step. Any suggestions?

I agree. there were not many skis that were not better than the domains. almost every park ski i rode i like way more than k2's line of park skis this year. if youre looking for an awesome rockered park ski i highly suggest the 2012. blows the domains out of the water.

Go get fitted for some dude, a pair of boots that fit will be much better than anything anyone can recommend to you on this site.

Also read this thread it has a lot of great info on finding boots: https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/311248/

See, I felt the EXACT opposite, I hated the 2012 and loved the Domain, it does have a lot to do with riding style and what you like to do on skis. I demoed the 2012 and they were too stiff and fairly unresponsive for me, they just weren't a lot of fun for me personally, while the Domain was awesome for me, nice and soft and playful and really just fun to have on my feet. But, too each his own, and can certainly see why someone would like to ride the 2012 over the Domain, especially if you really like to do jumps.

no, it's "zero camber" which is considered to be completely flat, but there is some camber (very little) underfoot.

nailed it exactly. the 2012's held it down on the 70 foot jump where the domains felt a little squishy for me. i dont mind the stiffness because i can milk a little extra pop out of them.

and that folks is why everyone needs to go ride a bunch of skis before buying them.

They don't look factory waxed, but out of the box they were too fast for the rails I was hitting.  I had to start like 3 feet from the lip haha.

They come factory waxed...but I usually scrape and re-wax all my new skis...but I wax my skis myself, so it's not a big deal.
