Moxon (before he quit radio and went to photography and then to the great
radiator in the sky) in "HF Antennas for all locations", p. 140, wrote,
"Vertical polarization tends to be unattractive when the ground is sloping.
....the image being tilted back so that it makes little or no contribution
to the wanted field strength. ..... Situation is even worse with the antenna
normal to the slope......."

vertical back a 1/4 wavelength from the slope and on flat ground.
