Despite the majority tolerating prolonged sun exposure, those with sensitive skin, infants, and children demand continual protection. Sun's radiation is most powerful around mid-day, so it's best to limit outdoor activities during this time. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Take heed! Reflection from the snow can almost amplify the Sun's UV radiation by double.
