Landing on Cardrona Valley strip, the pilot made a steeper than normal approach. Decreasing speed to cross the fence at 55 kts, the pilot applied power for touchdown. The aircraft landed heavily. The ground roll seemed normal, however, and there was no in dication of tail strike obvious at the time. It wasn't until a pre-flight inspection the following day that damage to the aircraft rear fuselage was noticed. Replacement of rear stringer, aft bulkhead and lower skin was required.
