I know, right? That's why I was saying "meh."

Dad's truck will come in handy. Kudos for thinking ahead. Hopefully he'll remember to pack some condoms too.

leave the car and just take a snowmobile up there instead.

I know if you lower your car chains or have non OEM wheels chains will wreck things up.

but if it doesn't snow you good. If it does rent a truck or use your dads.

I've used them with no problem. Just make sure to use either stock wheels or some you could really care less about

I'm a huge snowboarder and I took my twin up to Big Bear about 5 times last season with no snow tires nor chains. Here in so cal is tough to have enough snow built up to really require chains unless you drive up or down in the middle of the storm. Its hot enough during the day to melt anything that comes down over night. They always say its recommended you need chains but rarely required enforced. Check the website the days leading up to your drive and you should be good to go. Toughest part of the trip was parking and getting out of parking since we are low and they tell you to park on ice so I was spinning tires trying to get out. All in all I had no worries about going to Big Bear in the twin.
