I would hunt them the same way you would with dogs. Find a fresh track.
After a fresh snow, preferably the night before, take off driving/walking and cover ground. If you have access to a ranger/snowmobile/fourwheeler or whatever, you can cover a lot of miles in the first hours of the morning. I would start an hour before daylight. If you are in a pickup, even earlier since you can stay warm.
When you find a fresh track, follow it. Glass ahead as much as possible.
I am no expert, but if I were after cats without dogs, this is how I would approach it. Try not to get too discouraged.
I would guess that this (spot and stalk mountain lion) is the toughest hunt for any of the North American big game species.
