The midday Sun can be dangerous due to its intense radiation; always find shade and reduce exposure. 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. Remember this! The UV radiation of the Sun can be nearly doubled by the reflective properties of snow.
