Is the slope always slippery?

Well, from a scientific (i.e., non-metaphoric) perspective, it depends on the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction, below which you have defined as slippery, the angle of the slope and the magnitude of the gravitational potential encompassing the space-time region in question. I’m assuming you’re in a vacuum, of course… ;)
