Mnemonic

Think about mountains talking to each other, calling each other by their names and adding the Japanese name-ender san (さん) to each of their names. "Hello, Everest-san." "Oh hi, Fuji-san."

Be sure to imagine this vividly. The more absurdly you can imagine it, the more likely you are to remember the reading, san.
