Just use the formula for gravitational potential energy, which is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Close to Earth, gravity is approximately 9.8 newtons/meter.

Skiers are pulled up hill by a moving ski slope when they reach the top of the hill they ski down what type of energy do the skier gain as they go up hill?
Once the skiers go uphill by a cable car or lift, they gain potential energy. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy once the skiers start to ski down the slope.
How does a skier gliding down a hill illustrate the conservation of energy?
At the top of the hill, the skier possesses potential energy. As he travels down the hill, his potential energy is converted into his kinetic energy. Conservation of energy says that the skiers potential energy equals his kinetic energy further downslope (plus a little lost to heat from friction).
