ON3P Filthy Riches or K2 Domain?

Which ski would be better to beat around in the park? I like to do rails but i also like some stability on jumps. The Filthy Riches are pretty pricy, but they seem like great skis, and the K2 Domains seem good for their price. Just wanted to know what you guys think?

Domains are extremely soft with rocker. FR's are medium/stiff with rocker. Naturally, FR's will be more stable on jumps. Also, last year ON3P had an end-of-season sale and they were marked down considerably.

Though I haven't skied either (disclaimer) I would venture that the ON3P's will be more durable. They have some monster edges and burly construction. Plus, everyone on here who's dealt with them have had nothing but good things to say about the company.

Plus, if you're gonna want stability on big jumps I would reach for the stiffer ski, which in this case is the ON3P.

FRs

I had Domains the first year they came out, broke them and had to get another pair halfway through the season, they're fun....but then I went to FRs..couldn't break them, they're still kicking, plus they're SO much fun, you can butter them all you want, but you still feel stable on jumps and at speed, such an awesome ski, and even though they're more expensive, they're worth you, you get what you pay for (and more with the FRs).

Get the Filthy Riches. They will be lighter, more stable, and more durable. I own K2 Kung Fujas and although they are fun they are super heavy and break/chip/scratch SUPER EASY. ON3P makes way more durable skis.

As we're sold out pr very nearly sold out of most sizes of job skis currently, I wouldn't count on an end of season sale sadly...

personally never ridden the Filthy Riches, but my domains feel super heavy. Don't really care for them at all to be honest. The rocker is definitely nice but the weight is just annoying. And have never heard a bad thing about ON3P skis other than the expense.

Never skied FRs, but heard good things. I do ride Domains, though, and I like them a lot so far. I'm 5'8" 135. I like to trannyfind, press, ollie and nollie, and this ski is built for exactly that style of riding. And I can get away with the softness on jumps because I'm light.

do your domains hold up well on rails? do you hit rails often? and what size do you ride on?
