Stripping down for her birthday, celebrity skis Idaho with bikini-clad ‘chicks’

Chelsea Handler celebrated her 50th birthday in Idaho by stripping down and zipping down.

The comedian, actor and TV host skied Soldier Mountain — wearing a bikini.

Joined by a large group of other bikini-clad women, Handler weaved through gorgeous-looking powder in the ski area near Fairfield. A video was posted to her social media Tuesday — on her birthday. The skiing actually happened last week, on Feb. 16, according to a Soldier Mountain publicist.

“Today is also the day my seventh book, ‘I’ll Have What She’s Having,’ is out,” Handler wrote. “Give it to someone you love who needs a little boost or injection of confidence. If you want the recipe, baby I got it!!”

“Thanks to all the chicks that showed up to ski in their (bikini emoji),” she added.

Handler rented the whole mountain, according to winter sports website Unofficial Networks, skiing with “23 similarly scantily clad friends.”
