4. The top sections of the ski area of Horstman Glacier are indicated by the dark red rectangle in the photograph. To improve summer skiing conditions, this entire area must be covered with salt. Ski Area 15 ft T-bar 40 m Lift Use this information: The 7 T-bar support poles are spaced approximately 40 m apart. The giant slalom gate lane is approximately 15 ft wide. There are ten ski lanes. . Each 20-kg bag of salt will cover 400 m of snow. The entire ski area must be salted twice per day. a) Estimate the number of bags of salt needed per day. b) What is the estimated total mass of salt needed per day? Would it be reasonable to carry this up on a chair lift? Explain why or why not. c) Describe how you solved this problem and discuss any assumptions that you made. 4.
