Landing on a sloping runway with different wind velocities

Uphill or down, land into the wind seems to work best. Same goes with
Seaplanes and rivers, land into the wind. But....sometimes with
obstructions and whatnot it's not safe to land at all. Find another
field.

There's a good trick question. Should you always land uphill at a sloping
seaplane base?

Yes. Unless you're flying a barrel, in which case the tradition is to
land downhill.
