Extended sunlight exposure does not pose significant problems for most people, except for children, infants, and people with fair skin who always need shielding. The Sun is most powerful around mid-day, so it's a good practice to reduce direct exposure. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Warning! The reflection from snow can nearly magnify the Sun's UV radiation twofold.
