Mountain snow & wildlife
Paint chips from sand and cinders spread on icy roads.
Deer and wildlife strikes, especially at dawn and dusk.
Slide-offs, guardrail scrapes and snowbank impacts in winter.
CA-18, CA-330 and CA-38 climb to Big Bear and the Rim of the World communities, CA-138 reaches Crestline from the Cajon Pass, and CA-2 connects Wrightwood.
Mountain driving brings winter ice, sand and cinders spread on icy roads, and wildlife at dawn and dusk. Cinders chip paint on every winter trip, and deer strikes can damage far more than the bumper cover shows.
