In contrast to children, who must always be shielded from the sun, most people can tolerate up to an hour of sun exposure without any burns. The Sun is most powerful around mid-day, so it's a good practice to reduce direct exposure. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes. Take heed! Reflection from the snow can almost amplify the Sun's UV radiation by double.
