I grew up in San Bernardino, which is one of the major cities just below those mountains. Big Bear is the largest mountain range area in the region, in excess of 7k ft. Anywhere above 5k ft will get snow/ice.
All of southern California has very diverse topography because of the San Andreas Fault...which is the largest geological fault line in the world. It's a "strike-slip" fault, which causes many earthquakes and mountain generation. (I used-to major in planetary science in college.)
