Final answer:

Gravitational potential energy is represented by the skier at the top of the hill before skiing down and is converted into kinetic energy as they descend.


Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy represents potential energy in skiing. When the skier is at the top of the hill, before skiing down, they have a high potential energy due to their position above the ground. As the skier descends, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as they gain speed going downhill.
