Long-term sun exposure is typically not a concern for most. However, those with sensitive skin, infants, and children must always have protection. The Sun's most harmful UV rays are emitted around midday; avoid staying outdoors for long 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. Be prepared! The intensity of the Sun's UV radiation can be amplified nearly double due to snow reflection.
