it would not matter what the forecast said -- ANY day its a totally
foolish thing to do on Ben Nevis

It's dangerous in any mountainous or upland area.

I've been skiing in the Nevis range at Easter - starting off in sunny skies
wearing only a light fleece, and ending 3hrs later in heavy snow wearing
jacket/goggles/scarf etc...
