About Us
About Us:
In the fall of 2006, Martini Skate and Snow opened as a venue to support the connection of fashion, art, and street culture to skateboarding and snowboarding style. Located in Northfield, OH (just south of Cleveland), the shop was conceived from the idea that skateboarding and snowboarding are defined by personal style and originality.
Taking nods from movements on the East and West Coasts, to blend a boutique atmosphere with a board shop, Martini Skate and Snow offers the latest and limited inspired by street and snowboard-influenced style.
A fusion of form and functionality, Martini’s selection is a culmination of core brands driven by people who skate and ride. Not only does Martini offer the best in core skateboard and snowboard brands, the shop specializes in premium apparel, footwear and accessory brands.

So what is in a name? In ancient Latvia, Martini was the name of a festival, celebrated on November 10, marking the end of the fall and the beginning of winter. The festival marks the passage from Usins to Martins, two horse deities. Usins is invoked during the summer, while Martins is a winter god. The festival marked the end of the preparations for winter, such as salting meat and fish, storing the harvest and making preserves. Martini also marked the beginning of masquerading and sledding, among other winter activities.
