I wear it. Not sure if it's necessary, but I wouldn't risk getting burnt. I always wear sun sense factor 50

Definitely - I would always put on sunscreen going skiing. You get sun/wind burn very easily in the mountains.
Used to be lots of ski specific brands about - don’t ask to be as many these days, although Piz Buin do a range. I suppose all the regular sunscreen is much higher factor these days.

I buy piz buin mountain factor 50 at the airport (hard to get in usual shops) and always use it even in Snow as protection against wind.

I always do. The sun is very strong when it comes out! I stick some regular all day stuff on in the morning and top up at lunch!
