Looking at the snow for too long on a sunny day can cause blindness. The snow reflecting the sun can be as bad as the sun itself.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but what is the point in that, making sunglasses to stop the light that don't stop the light, Slits are just going to let it in anyway, so i voted against you.
