I was on the Avanti Express lift today and I noticed these on the seat of every chair. They look like stickers but I think they are something that is used to secure small children in the chair.
Of note, I see the same sort of sticker/magnetic thing on Quicksilver Super6, only those are painted with the Breckenridge 'B' on an orange background instead of a bulls-eye. You can sort of see that in this photo:
So what are these "sticker" things?

I would have to agree with SkiLiftsRock, that seems like the most likely purpose. Any lift near me that there is actually a 5+ minute line for usually as "teeth" as well as sometimes footrests on the bar to do so...

With the right overhead scanner, they could be targets for a stop (passenger over-ride) gate. The targets would be covered by a passenger.

An insult to our collective intelligence. How long have we been sitting in chairs?
"Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur (it speaks for it self). Let the good times roll." HT

I've always assumed the stickers are for magnetic harnesses for small children who have to be hoisted into the chair. Interestingly it's only the Avanti Express that features these, at least this year.

I can agree with Donald, there are magnetic chair restraints, and this may just be implemented under the seat. It could also be seat location as well. WhO knOWS?
Like I said, they are butt targets. There is no magnet under the seat plus that would not help keep small rider in the seat.
Anything is possible when you don't understand what you are talking about.
