Trees or other natural elements that are in their path. As well as trees and roots, bumps in the snow or ice on the piste can slow down skiers and cause them to fall.

Why is a skier going down hill a slope?
A skier going downhill on a slope is due to gravity pulling the skier downwards. The angle of the slope causes the skier to accelerate as they descend. By controlling their speed and direction using their skills and equipment, the skier can navigate the slope safely.
In Washington State when must a skier-down flag be displayed?
In Washington State, a skier-down flag must be displayed when a skier is in the water.
What two forces slows down skiers when going down a hill?
The two forces that slow down skiers when going down a hill are friction and air resistance. Friction occurs between the skis and the snow, as well as between the skis and the boots, causing a resistance that reduces the speed. Air resistance is the force exerted by the air on the skier as they move downhill, acting in the opposite direction to the skier's motion and further slowing them down.
What energy dose a skier has at the top of a hill and coming down a hill?
At the top of a hill, a skier has potential energy due to their position above the ground. As the skier comes down the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the skier gains speed.
When a skier goes up a hill and down a hill what energy is that?
The skier going up the hill gains potential energy due to its height increase, which is stored energy that can be released when the skier goes back down the hill. As the skier goes down the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
What happens to energy of the skier if he goes down a hill?
The potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy as they go down the hill due to gravity. This kinetic energy allows the skier to move faster and pick up speed.

What are some real world examples of negative slope?

In California a vessel involved in towing a skier must display what color flag?
"Red or orange" skier down flag
What does it mean when a skier holds out one hand thumb down?
To slow down
What does kind of energy does a skier traveling downhill have?
Half way down the slope, the skier has kinetic energy and potential energy. At the top of the slope, before he starts moving, he only has potential energy. At the bottom of the slope, he has only kinetic energy. This is an extremely simplified explanation, but it's probably the answer that your teacher is looking for. Hope that helps.
What is the proper size for a skier down flag in Washington?
12x12
