Default Growing grass in an extremely windy area - large lawn

Add a tackifier to the seed and mulch you're going to use this spring...
this is typically how the hydroseeders keep stuff on slopes.

Cool season grasses like red fescue, tall fescue, kentucky bluegrass
need cool soil temperatures for a fairly prolonged period of time to
germinate and establish well. Get that seed down as soon as practical.
