Work done by friction on a skier and resulting distance the skier travels

[Sequence1123]

Homework Statement

A skier starts from rest on a 20m high, 20° slope. μ_k=0.210
Find the horizontal distance traveled by the skier.
From this, for the equations below we know that:
y_f = 0
v_i = 0
v_f = 0

Homework Equations

W_net = W_nc + W_g = ΔKE
W_net = -f_kd
W_nc = ΔKE + ΔPE
W_nc = ΔKE + mg(y_f - y_i)
KE = 1/2mv²
PE = mgy
f_k = μ_kmg

The Attempt at a Solution

So I went with the work of a non-conservative force
W_nc = (KE_f - KE_i) + (PE_f - PE_i)
W_nc = (1/2mv_f² - 1/2mv_i²) + (mgy_f - mgy_i)
From given, I eliminated all 0 quantities, leaving me with
W_nc = -mgy_i
Then plugged in W_net = -f_kd = -μ_kmgd so,
-μ_kmgd = -mgy_i
eliminated like terms (m, g):
-μ_kd = -y_i
and solved for d
d = y_i/μ_k
and plugged in the knowns
d = 20m/0.210
d = 95.2m
I realize this is the distance traveled from the top of the hill to the end of motion, but all they want is the horizontal distance, so now I have to solve for the distance traveled from the top of the hill to the bottom of the hill. The only thing I think that changes between the above work and the distance from the top to bottom is the final velocity which will be nonzero.
So my question is, how do I find the distance traveled from the top of the hill to the bottom?
Or am I going about this wrong? Is there a more direct way to find just the horizontal distance traveled?

Oh I should add, the answer given by the book is 40.3m

Homework Statement

A skier starts from rest on a 20m high, 20° slope. μ_k=0.210
Find the horizontal distance traveled by the skier.

Is this the full statement of the problem?

I'm guessing that after the skier gets to the bottom of the slope, she skis over a horizontal stretch of ground? Perhaps it's that horizontal distance that they want.

AH! I figured it out...

I had to find the length of the bottom of the triangle formed by the horizontal and the slope of the hill. sin20° = 20/x (where x is the hypotenuse, or the length of the slope of the hill)
from that I got x ≈ 58.5m
Then,
cos20° = x/58.5m (where x is the length of the bottom of the triangle)
x ≈ 54.9m
then subtract that from the total length traveled by the skier, 95.2m - 54.9m = 40.3m which is the answer given by the book.
