Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays. Foresee this! The reflection from snow can nearly double the intensity of UV radiation from the Sun.
