Chelsea Handler marked her milestone 50th birthday in true bold fashion—by hitting the slopes in a bikini!
The comedian, actor, and television host embraced the freezing temperatures of Idaho’s Soldier Mountain, zipping down the snowy terrain in nothing but a red two-piece.
Joined by a group of similarly dressed women, Handler made a statement as she carved through the powder, proving once again that she’s fearless on and off the slopes. The daring birthday stunt was captured in a video shared on her social media on Tuesday, the same day as her official birthday.

While many opt for a lavish party or a tropical getaway, Handler took her celebrations to the mountains. The video of her skiing in a red bikini quickly gained traction online, with fans and followers applauding her confidence and sense of adventure.
The skiing itself took place on February 16, according to Soldier Mountain representatives, but Handler chose to share the footage on her birthday, adding to the excitement of the day. She even went the extra mile, renting out the entire mountain for the occasion.

Handler’s snowy escapade wasn’t just about fun—it also served as a unique promotional moment. In her social media post, she reminded fans about the release of her seventh book, I’ll Have What She’s Having.
“Give it to someone you love who needs a little boost or injection of confidence,” she wrote, tying in her latest literary endeavor with her fearless skiing stunt. The book, much like its author, encourages readers to embrace life unapologetically.

This isn’t the first time Handler has taken to the slopes in barely-there attire. The comedian has a tradition of skiing in unconventional outfits, having previously gone viral for a topless ski run during her 47th birthday.
In that instance, she braved the cold in only blue underwear, American flag stickers covering her chest, while clutching a margarita in one hand and a joint in the other. At the time, she was followed by then-boyfriend Jo Koy, who captured the moment from a snowmobile.
A Symbol Of Confidence And Independence

Despite a highly publicized split from Koy in 2022, Handler remains a firm believer in self-love and empowerment. Her bikini ski run not only entertained fans but also served as a reminder that age is just a number and confidence is the key to embracing every moment.
