I'm 5'8 130 lbs and I'm wondering which ski would be better for the park all around?

Never skied the domain, but from what I know, the domain are fully rockered ski and the suspect and cambered ski.

That been said, If you are more a jump guy, the suspect would be better then the domain. The suspect are a really good ski all over the mountain, people hate on Salomon because they had some durability issue 3 years ago or so. K2 are bombproof tought, still have my PE from back then.

Do you prefer a ski with or without rocker? I don't know which one are softer but on the top of my head I would say the domain are softer

Honestly had no idea Salomon was still making Park Skis. Lol, but I'd say the K2. Not sure of your price range but check out the Line Chronic, it's comparatively good in the park, but can also perform up to snuff on the whole moment. Really a solid ski.

I would stay away from the salomons based on what I have heard of them.(not sure if true). But I love my domains. They are flat underfoot with a slight rocker at the tips. If you are doing mostly rails I would Definately recommend them. But they are pretty soft.mif you are doing larger jumps (over 45ish feet) I would recommend the chronics. They are stiffer and more stable off jumps, but are still butter-able because of the rocker.

Yeah I'd say the suspects for Jumps and more all round but the domains for rails and playing around on, I have a pair of domains and they are extremely playful, buttery and durable

Domain, they will last you longer and destroy the park. Flat camber makes sliding rails feel so natural, but they are still plenty stiff for jumps. I actually just hit some larger jumps for the first time yesterday on them and was very pleasantly surprised. I love everything abou them, you can just have so much fun on them.
