@marxrab, your first chore will be to decided how many beds you want to start with. I would suggest 2 or 3 for the first year, expanding each year thereafter. You can kill off the weeds and native grasses by using cardboard, and/or papers (newspapers) with mulch over them. Also, keeping them cut down very low will help keep things in line. If your beds will truly be raised above the ground you could put down the paper/cardboard and use rocks or gravel to mulch. That could then also be used in the walkways. Have you thought about terracing down the hill. Sure it would be a lot of work, but in the end worth it as you would have flat terraces to garden on and the mulch, etc., would not roll down the hill. It could also make snow control easier in winter.

That's a good idea. I don't think we'd be able to do more than 2 or 3. I think your suggestions about the newpapers/cardboard might be the way to go. We can focus on a small section of the hill to control at first and expand next year. I think maybe we need a path covered in mulch or something else to walk on with raised beds on one side. Thanks for all the help.
So glad I could offer a useful suggestion. Good luck
