I'd urge anyone putting a race plate on a ski like this to confirm that the change has improved their skiing. In my experience, more often than not a stiffer ski leads to a park and ride movement pattern when used by the average recreational skier. Stiffer skis need more speed to bend into a nice arc and most recreational skiers are trying to go slower when they carve down a blue or black run, not faster. OTOH, advanced racers and expert skiers may need a stiffer ski that won't stall at race speeds.
