I live on the side of a mountain in New Hampshire. Mowing the lawn with
a standard power mover is a real pain. A ride on lawn mower will not
work because it will overturn. Is there an easier way to mow the lawn
like a self propelled lawn mower or a one of those mowers that the pro's
use which you stand on or will they not work on steep terrain?

If it's too steep to mow, then it's too steep to use as a lawn.
What are you trying to accomplish by keeping it mowed?
If you're just trying to clear a view, plant some trees that
either don't grow high enough to block the view,
or that you can trim enough branches off to see through.
If you're after a fire-break, I think you need a retaining
wall and terracing.

There are varieties of no-mow grasses too. Usually they grow a few inches
and fall over without growing stalks. Not sure what grows well in NH
though. You should have access to plenty of pine straw in the woods if you
want free mulch though.
