As you know stones are easily available in the hilly region so stones are usually used to build houses & also roofs are made up of slate stone.

Complete step by step solution:
As we know people build houses as per the geographical locations & cultural differences & also the availability of local resources. People build houses so that in the house they are protected from wind, cold, heat, rain, sand, and dust. To protect from cold houses are compact, have small windows & thick walls. Also, they have heating systems that protect from heat and people build the house below ground level. In the forest, houses are made up of wood. As we know hilly areas are cold & stone are local resources of the hilly regions. The walls are coated with mud and Lime in the hilly region. So roofs of the hilly regions are made up of slate stone & roofs are sloppy in nature so snow will not pile up on the roof & put excess pressure on it to cause damage to the roof.
