Infants, children, and people with sensitive skin should always have protection against lengthy periods of sun exposure. It's crucial to reduce time in the direct Sun around mid-day due to the intense solar radiation. 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. Foresee this! The reflection from snow can nearly double the intensity of UV radiation from the Sun.
