Will a heavier couch with wider and longer skis attached to the bottom travel faster down a hill than a lighter couch with skinny skis?

Yes, the extra weight of the couch will give it a greater maximum velocity, as well as rate of acceleration, on and off-piste.
Longer and wider skis means a greater area of contact with the snow, causing greater acceleration: Provided the skis are reasonably waxed/ prepared. If the ski bases are dried out, they may actually slow you down, since a dry ski base will have a braking, friction effect.

Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
Why do heavier objects fall faster then lighter objects?
Heavier objects have more gravitational pull on them
Which body moves faster heavier or lighter?
The answer depends on the force applied to the bodies.
How fast can a lorry go go?
It depends on the lorry, if it's heavier or carrying heavier things then it will have to travel slower. If it's lighter or carrying lighter things then it can travel faster.
Is a friesian faster than a clydesdale?
Yes, because the Friesian is lighter and the Clydesdale is heavier.
Do heavier things drop faster than lighter things?
yes because of the heaviness its speed increases more than lighter stuff
What Star burns its fuel the fastest?
Heavier stars will usually burn faster than lighter stars.
Are heavier dragsters just as fast as lighter dragsters?
The lighter the dragster is for its horsepower, the faster it will go. This is why the front frames and tires are so relatively flimsy.
Why The lighter string will have the higher frequency?
The lighter strings vibrate much faster than the heavier ones when the bow is drawn across them. This faster or higher frequency of vibration emits the higher pitched sound.
Do heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects when on a parachute?
Assuming the parachutes are the same size, then yes.
How will a lighter gas particle have the same kinetic energy as a heavier particle?
It can be hotter (and so be moving faster) F=ma
Why does a heavier person slide down a hill faster than a lighter person when on a snow tube?
because the heavier person has more initeria and therefore the forces that would slow the slider down i.e friction, wind resistance, whatever, have less effect on a heavier person that a lighter person
