My assumption.

This is an extension of the Intelligence fibers and Chip technology Head bought from K2 and has been using in skis and racquets for at least 10 years now. The difference is that they appear to have added the fibers to the tail of the ski while in the past it was only the front of the ski.  Maybe they've added a capacitor or otherwise changed the chips processing/filtering of the electrical pulses, but I think its pretty well accepted that the technology works (maybe too much, since Chip skis tend to be very damp relative to their non-chip equals).
