At the moment, it's a lovely combination of sleet, freezing rain and rain. But it's early in the week, and the forecast is for colder weather. There's no snow predicted, but resorts will have their snowguns firing at full force for the rest of the week. The mountains should be in good shape for the holidays. If you're getting your gear together to come to New England, my one suggestion would be to get your edges sharpened before you come.
Manmade snow is great, but as the day goes on it tends to get pretty slick.
With sharp edges, it's no problem. Without them, it can be a nightmare. If I keep that bag ready to go at all times, it makes life a lot easier. Add your own variations, of course. A couple of energy bars, tissues, water bottle, an extra pair of nylon windpants, whatever.
