Greenworks Commercial equipped a competing team at the 2026 World Ice Art Championships in the Multi Block Competition with the event's first battery-powered tools.
Held annually in Fairbanks, Alaska, the World Ice Art Championships are internationally recognized for their scale, technical complexity and demanding carving conditions. The Multi Block Competition challenges teams of four artists to transform nine massive blocks of ice, each measuring six feet tall, four feet wide, three feet thick and weighing more than 3,000 pounds, into monumental sculptures over six days.
The competing team, which included team captain Dean Demarais, Ryan Anderson, David Smith and Cad Kilpatrick, used Greenworks' 82V Optimus chainsaws exclusively across a range of bar lengths and power outputs, including its high-powered 82V 5.0 kW H.O.G. chainsaw.
"Our OPTIMUS lineup is designed for professionals who depend on consistent performance day after day," says Yin Chen, CEO of Greenworks. "The World Ice Art Championships provide a unique environment to demonstrate that capability at scale, where precision, endurance and reliability are essential from start to finish."
