You guys ever get a tan while snowboarding at a snow resort?

Question

i havent gone this winter and i didnt pay enough attention last winter to see if i did but i heard from someone that somehow u tan at a snow resort..is this true? ever happen to you?

Answer 1

LOL sure it can happen.  You're around snow which is reflecting light onto your exposed skin the entire time you're out there!  If you're not careful, you'll get burned.

Answer 2

especially true at the higher elevation resorts out west--thats why so many people wear sunscreen on their faces(usually the only exposed skin), if you can sunburn, then you can suntan too!!!!

Answer 3

Yes especially from the sun being relfected from the snow.. Haven't you ever seen bikini skiing???

Answer 4

Your face can get tan/burnt...Sun refecting off the snow....

Answer 5

Yes, it's true.  The snow reflects the sun so you get extra sun exposure.

Answer 6

Of course, on exposed skin.  Don't forget to protect under your nose and chin - reflected light can burn there, as well.

Answer 7

i duno but i have gotten a horrible sunburn but i bet its possible most of your body is covered up anyway so you can't really get a tan
