Do you mean the Nevis Range ski resort? This isn't actually on Ben Nevis itself, but a nearby hill.
Brave people have been known to ride the Ben itself - see the guide book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scottish-Offpiste-Skiing-Snowboarding-Nevis/dp/0992606500
Its Scotland - conditions are completely variable. Check out http://www.winterhighland.info/ for up to date conditions reports once the season starts.
Doing squats (with weights) and wall-sits also helps, although your legs are probably strong enough from skiing. Honestly, since you're a competent skier you're probably better off spending less time in the gym and more time on the mountain.
This book helped me a lot my first year:

The language and illustrations are super-cheesy and your buddies are going to make fun of you when you're reading it in the lodge, but the fundamentals are described pretty well. It's also cheap: $12.
Keep yourself low (like you're pooping) and get used to having one edge at a time. You'll do great.
