Gas the garage with pesticides and then put your board in there. Problem. Solved. Laughing

If you're really concerned with the boots getting munched on, put the board in the garage for the winter and keep just the boots in your closet. It'll be easier to deal with if you don't have room for the board in your room somewhere.

i don't have any of my own Crying or Very sad

but if i did i'd probably make sure they were thoroughly cleaned from the season, then put them in their box on a shelf in my closet. or, during the 2-3 months where it gets cold (read: 45-65F) i'll just put a wetsuit on, and ride Razz

for me to consider a day in the winter cold it would probably have to be at least -5 F an average day is between 10- 20 F but that depends on the month too. we also ALWAYS have a wind chill Puppy Eyes
