because the snow reflects the sunlight, thus sunburning the skiers Snow reflects sunlight so it gives sunburns. The rays are normally absorbed by the ground bouncing off the snow and hit you indirectly.
Why do skiers often get sunburn in the winter?
The reason that skiers get sun burned in winter is because of the reflective properties of the snow. The snow absorbs very little of the suns rays and reflects them back. The intensity of the suns rays make it very easy for exposed skin to get burned.as well as ice skating ice's reflective properties as well can have rays reflect and burn skin.
How do you spell toucks?
I am guessing that you mean toque, a kind of hat. It has had various meanings in history as can be seen in the link below. The term is commonly used today and it often refers to a knit hat or cap like the ones frequently used in the winter, particularly by skiers.

Why is southern british Columbia so warm?
The climate is influenced by the Pacific Ocean which naturally stays relatively warm in winter, and in winter the prevailing wind comes off the ocean, often up from the southeast. Strong warm winter winds are often called the "pineapple express" because they come more or less from the direction of Hawaii. The influence of the ocean is strong enough that it can often be as much as 10 degrees colder only 30 miles inland than it is right on the water.

Why do skiers often get sunburned even in winter when the sun's rays are not very strong?
People tend to severely underestimate the power of the sun to cause sunburn and think it has something to do with temperature (it sort of does, but not a lot).Let's say just for the sake of argument that the insolation of a given square meter of skin (or anything else, really) is only 1/4 as great in winter as it is in summer.You can get a sunburn on unprotected skin in 15 minutes in summer, so that means an hour in winter would get you just as sunburned. Very few people go skiing for less than an hour.Also, there's the fact that white snow reflects a lot more of the sun's rays that aren't hitting you directly back up at you than green grass does, giving you a relatively larger effective gathering area.

What is a ski resort?
Popularly, a ski resort is a place of winter recreation for alpine snow skiers and snowboarders. Alpine snow skiers are skiers who specifically ski downward on a snowy slope. To go upward on the said slope, a ski resort usually furnishes a mechanical lift, usually chairs which travel along a suspended cable that is elevated above the slope on vertical pole towers. The lift transports an alpine skier from a lower point to a higher point on a hill/mountain to facilitate the alpine skier descending a snowy slope. Many ski resorts routinely use machinery to modify the snow surface of a slope. This modification, or grooming, is done to maintain a firm and planar snow surface under the demands of frequent skier traffic. Many alpine resorts will produce snow by spraying water into cold air to supplement natural snow depth and prolong the snow skiing season.In contrast to alpine skiers, who travel down snowy slopes on skis, a ski resort can also facilitate Nordic or cross country skiing. Nordic skiers travel on snow across land. Nordic skate skiers maneuver their skis laterally, skating, to propel the skier forward. Skating skiers require a firm, planar snow surface, often maintained by grooming machines. Nordic Classic or cross country (XC) skiers shuffle their skis in a smooth fore and aft motion to propel themselves forward. Cross country/classic skiers move slower than skate skiers but can usually ski just about anywhere there is snow, and don't necessarily require the groomed paths of a ski resort. Each of the three types of skiing described (alpine, skate, cross country) is normally done using independent sets of respectively specialized ski equipment.
