Stay Protected on the Slopes
Yup, UV rlevels increase by 4% for every 300m in altitude.
Avoid making a rookie mistake! Reapply every 2 hours and after a sweaty run on the mountain.
Remember those easy to forget areas like your ears, nose, chest, and neck.
Reflections off snow can increase sun exposure by up to 50%. Keep that in mind when you’re on the slopes.
Don't underestimate cloudy days. 90% of UV rays still find their way through clouds, which means even if it's not a beautiful sunny day, you can still get fried.
Did you know a snow-covered mountain is super reflective? On a sunny day, fresh snow can reflect up to 90% of UV radiation. Avoid the burn. Stay protected with face SPF.
From the sun, come both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are known for penetrating the deeper layers of our skin, which can lead to premature skin aging and wrinkles. UVB rays on the other hand, are known as the culprits of sunburns and play a significant role in causing skin cancer. Curious how intense the UV rays are at any point in the day? Just look up the UV index on your phone.
