Some other persepctives:
"Skier's left/right" for snow skiing. Ambiguity arises when looking uphill or downhill.
When riding on a float in Mardi Gras in New Orleans. You might be on the "driver's side" or "passenger's side". You could also be on the neutral ground side (left) or the other side. Or the rider could be on the "lake side" (left) or the river side (right). Parades run South to North and the Mississippi River would be on the rider's right and Lake Pontchartrain on the left.
Aviation uses a clock face (traffic is at your 2'oclock, northbound) to reference traffic at the pilot's right / front.

But what about “snowboarder’s left”… sounds a lot like “starboard’s left” at which everybody on the fake ski slope on the cruise ship gets incredibly confused? We have to drive out all ambiguity here, or people are doing to die.
