The solar radiation is most powerful near the mid-day, so the exposure to the direct Sun should be reduced accordingly. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly. Take warning! The intensity of the Sun's UV radiation can be nearly amplified twice due to snow reflection.
