Answer: Skier 1 will have more potential energy because he is higher than skier 2

Explanation: Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or height.

P.E= $m\times g\times h$

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

h= height of body

Thus if the masses of two bodies are same, the one with greater height possess greater potential energy.
