Something to remember. Gravity works and is constant. Anything placed on the hill will be trying to move down the hill or fall over. The more material behind it the more lateral force.

Just placing some blocks on the surface is really not a good idea. You need to anchor them in place. A post holes filled with cement(pillar) and a couple of steel rebar going into the wall will help to hold it in place.
You can save money by building a deck for the sides where the doors are.
Whatever you do make sure you have a solid tire stop at the end. Dropping a tire over the edge would not be fun.
