Up the West ridge. Best suited for boots (and crampons for the final climb to the summit) rather than skis. Its a straight forward 4km walk along the ridge, mostly in bush with the occasional scramble.

The best part is its totally free as the access road turns off before the main road up the mountain. No lift passes or parking permits needed. The crap part is walking all the way back when all you want to do is have a lazy ski down the mountain.
