When the Sun's UV radiation is most intense during midday, it's best to find shade and limit exposure. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck. Foresee this! The reflection from snow can nearly double the intensity of UV radiation from the Sun.
