A dry start to autumn will get you edgy about water. Definitely a uniquely dry intro to NNE for you.
Late October and November topography enhanced synoptic rains will get your water well topped off.
There is no other mountain like it in the NE when there is a good base.
In my humble opinion, best NE ski areas in order are:
Sugarloaf
Stowe
Killington
Wildcat
Sunday River
lots of runners up though...
I was just thinking that, it is warm and windy here this afternoon. The streams that feed the Green River literally only have 3 or 4 inches of water in them.
