Though the majority can handle prolonged sun exposure, it is crucial to always shield babies, children, and those with fair skin. Considering the Sun's intensity during midday, it's wise to minimize direct exposure. 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. Heed this! Snow reflection can almost augment the UV radiation of the sun by double.
