I live in a warmer (and mountainous) clime, so that’s wild to me! I knew the term ‘snow blindness’ and that snow goggles were meant to prevent it, but I’d never seen a description of what it’s actually like. Unironically, thank you for sharing!
It isn’t a problem unless you’re a dumb kid that doesn’t want to listen to his parents.
Isn’t it the case with every dangerous thing in life? … it’s amazing any of us survive childhood … lol
I’m also of the culture that originated the derogatory term ‘Eskimo’ … it’s an Anglesized pronunciation of what we call the Inuit … we call them 'Ish-shish-kee-mel" … which translates to ‘Raw meat eater’
We have a lot of respect for the Inuit because they live in a much harsher climate … and conversely they respect us in our environment because they don’t know how to live in ours.
If the UV burn is bad enough it will feel like someone chucked a handful of sand in your eyes for 3-5 days, or worse, it really will blind you. Never weld without the mask folks
