Happy Birthday to Chelsea Handler who celebrated her 51st trip around the sun with a bikini powder skiing session launched from a helicopter in Canada.
It has become a tradition over the years for the irreverent talk show host and comedian to celebrate her natal day by skiing in minimal clothing and Chelsea decided step it up a notch for her 51st and joined Bella Coola Heli Skiing to cruise around the rugged mountains of British Columbia in her swimwear.
While Chelsea’s skiing was obviously on the cheeky side, her safety equipment was quite serious. Despite her decidedly scanty choice of clothing, Chelsea was fitted with an avalanche beacon and an inflatable avalanche backpack for her celebratory ski run.
Not the first time Chelsea has joined Bella Coola for a heli-skiing adaventure, she scored powder turns and got into to some pretty “outrageous behavior” during a trip with them on February 8th, 2026. Conditions looked incredible and private heli-skiing outfit was sure to her group back to the lodge in time to watch Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance:
“We apologize to the staff and other skiers for our outrageous behavior. We can’t help ourselves. We just love to get down to business.” -Chelsea Handler
