Skiers can't see behind them. Boarders can't see on their heelside.
Skiers
should be aware that if they approach from a boarders heelside, it is
up to
them to allow safety space.


Doesn't matter what side or platform you're on. If you're uphill *you*
are supposed to yield to the downhill skier or boarder. That's the rule
on every mountain I've ever skied on.

At the risk of being overly pedantic, the code actually says:

"People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to
avoid them."

Note the word "ahead" not "downhill". You can't whack somebody from
behing just because you're skiing uphill.

But you're right that there's no exception for a snowboarder's blindspot.
