She's aimed some frosty words at her critics after ranting online about her stolen music.
Now Madonna has found herself out in the cold - literally.

Proving she was as fit as ever, the 56-year-old whipped down the slopes at the well-heeled resort on Sunday.

Clad head-to-toe in black ski gear, the singer kept her face covered with a balaclava.
She hit the piste with a male companion and was also seen giving encouragement to a young skier wearing red.
Her sporty
end to the year comes as she furiously lashed out after several demo
tracks from her forthcoming album were leaked over the internet.
Taking to social media to vent her outrage on Saturday over what she called 'a world that discriminates against women.'

The
56-year-old singer posted a lengthy tirade along with a close-up snap
of her with a plug stopping her red lipsticked mouth and fixed to a gold
link chain.
Her light blonde hair was swept back from her flawlessly pretty face, while her steely blue gaze was directed upwards.
'Their
are those who want to shut me up but they cannot! (sic)' Madonna
captioned the bizarre picture, ranting: 'We still live in a world that
discriminates against women.
'Their
are People that are so hateful. they want to create feuds between
strong women that do not exist! I do not wish ill will towards any other
female artist and i never have!
'The World is big enough for all of us! I will fight for my rights as an artist, a human and a woman till the end of my days!'

Smoking hot: The 56-year-old singer
was perhaps hoping to reignite waning interest in the six new songs she
released on iTunes with this cleavage-baring photo
'I come with a a lot of baggage':
Madonna shared lyrics from her song Unapologetic B***ch and another
dramatic image of her lugging a chic tote
She
also posted a cleavage-baring photo of herself alongside lyrics from
her reggae-inspired song Unapologetic B***ch: ' When we did it. I ll
admit it. Wasn't satisfied.'
'I
come with a a lot of baggage,' Madonna tweeted, along with a
black-and-white picture of herself in a monochrome-print dress and
dragging a big black tote.
Last
week, Madonna released six new tracks from her forthcoming LP that were
made available on iTunes, but they have suffered a dramatic dip in
sales just one week later.
Madonna's
move was to counter-attack the illegal distribution of 13 unfinished
and, one week later, 14 completed tracks from new album Rebel Heart, her
first release in three years.
The
early availability of six tracks from her 13th album initially soared
to the top of the iTunes chart, but then they quickly plummeted down the
top 100, with Nicki Minaj collaboration B**ch I’m Madonna hovering at
number 188.
Plummeting sales: Six new tracks from
Madonna's forthcoming thirteenth album, Rebel Heart. have dropped out of
the iTunes top 100, one week after their early release
Meanwhile Living For Love, thought to be the album’s lead single, has fared worse on Amazon, where it languishes at number 529.
The
poor sales have prompted concern ahead of Rebel Heart’s planned release
next March, with the album currently at number 38 in iTunes pre-orders
and a worrying 167 on Amazon.
After
three decades of pop domination Madonna’s album sales have declined
over recent years, with American Life (2003), Hard Candy (2008) and MDNA
(2012) all failing to hit the critical and commercial highs of earlier
releases.
Struggling: The dip in sales has prompted concern ahead of the new album's release on March 10, 2015
It’s
understood that the entertainer is failing to attract a new generation
of fans, while the older generation are less interested in her newer
material.
Following the album leak earlier this month an enraged Madonna took to Instagram, where she likened the incident to ‘terrorism.’
'This is artistic rape!!' she cried out in a post that has since been taken down.
'These are early leaked demo's half of which wont even make it on my album the other half have changed and evolved.
‘This
is a form of terrorism. Wtf!!!! Why do people want to destroy artistic
process??? Why steal? Why not give me the opportunity to finish and give
you my very best?'
Rebel Heart is expected to be released on March 10, 2015.
