High Sierra Topix

While at Yosemite in the early 70's I was listening to a ranger at Glacier Point giving a talk to a crowd of people. During his presentation he talked about a person who was evacuated out of the back country by helicopter because of 2nd and 3rd degree burns to his body while
hiking in the snow.
Care to guess what part of his body got burned?

Where the light doesn't shine normally?:)

On a mid Spring trip to Lassen, with a group I belong too, it was so nice, all I wore during the day was my shorts. By Tuesday after work, I had a blister on my one shin the size of an egg yolk.

Nope, but I figured that was what a lot of people might be thinking.
Come on people take a guess be creative.

Ok, i'll guess cheeks. assuming he had on sunglasses, your face is pretty prone to reflective burning.

Nope

no hat, scalp? you're killing us here. i suddenly feel the need to slather SPF 30 over my body.

Because the dude needed to be evacuated I'd guess the bottoms of the feet - lounging back barefoot...I know I've had some sunburns in strange areas from the snow

you're probably right, but who takes their boots off in the snow? I did whitesides meadow once in the Emigrant wilderness. painful on the eyes as there was a good foot of snow for 2 miles.

Hope the guy was billed for the evac.

Well, the answer to that was "nope", so that eliminates my first guess.

Well, heck.... I'll guess his hands (but you said to be creative, so I doubt if that's right).

I'll say it...his 'junk'?
