Just got back from Reno,Nevada where I picked up a small load of IntegraSpec blocks.  Ski pictures from Donner Pass along the way (attached to this post).   The trip gave me an excuse to do 1/2 day skiing.  It's April and the Sierras still have 100 inches of dry crisp powder.  

Damn.Jealous. Very little skiing in the east this year... I blame Al Gore.

If the ICF manufacturers gave away a one-day ski pass if you buy a given amount of ICF's from them and drive your trailer to pick it up, Reward would get my business. They're in Colorado. But IntegraSpec/Donner Pass = Tahoe is good enough. BuildBlock/Bakersfield is 50 miles away but they're surrounded by nothing but smelly cow farts. It's a rural area. Flat, uneventful.
