During the winter season you have two choices to make the 900m (3000ft) ascent.
Spend $85cdn for a day lift ticket to whisk you by gondola and T-bar to within 50m of the peak, Alternatively, and my choice was to make the ascent on alpine touring skis.
If you are doing an alpine ascent the ski hill rules insist that you do this out of bounds and duck back inbounds at the top T-bar, a short 50m from the peak. This can be done by following informal trails (Monkey Trees & Maintenance gully),
All things went well for me today (I even remembered my SD card). It took me 3 hrs to make the first 750m but a further hour of boot packing on a rocky ridge to make the final approach.
Setup took a further 20 minutes. I had hoped to do a self spot using my APRS HT complete with special code (SpotSMS/SpotAPRS Gateway Log). Unfortunately there were no digipeters within range 
It took 10 minutes to raise a response to my KX3 set to 5 watts, but it was an “in-Use†frequency, at the suggestion of Randal ND0C I moved “Down 3†14.343 → 14.340.
This was a successful QSO and thanks to Randal spotting on SOTA-Watch, a further 8 QSO quickly followed.

The overcast weather (-7ºC) did not inspire me to to go beyond a record shot (you can see the ski tow just behind me)
