Great caption on the clip:
I didn't realize snowboarders actually got "run them down like a dog" lessons in their education camp. It now starts making sense.

This incident has nothing to do with how many planks are underfoot. As stated when overtaking a skier/rider, unless they have eyes in the back of their heads, the overtakee has the right of way over the overtaker. When entering a trail you must look uphill before getting on the trail as the uphill skier/rider has the right of way

At fault or responsible? Different questions.
Responsible? The boarder, cut and dry, per The Code.
At fault? Boarder, skier, and whoever put that training course there. There's a reason race courses get fenced off, when you're training or racing the natural tendancy is to focus less on your surroundings than normal. There should at least be signage warning approaching skiers to stay clear of the course. If there was nothing, then ok, beginner skier doesn't know any better, pretty much off the hook, but somone screwed up in not providing warning. If there was some signage, then the skier didn't pay attention to it, but there still could have been more done to seperate the training course from the general skiing public.
Reality isn't as black and white as The Code might suggest.
