Avoid the Sun's strongest UV rays by seeking shade and limiting exposure during midday. 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. Mind this! Nearly twice the UV radiation from the Sun can be reflected by the snow.
