In contrast to children, who must always be shielded from the sun, most people can tolerate up to an hour of sun exposure without any burns. The Sun is most powerful around mid-day, so it's a good practice to reduce direct exposure. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Consider carefully! The reflective quality of snow can almost double the intensity of the Sun's UV radiation.
