High peaks hike in early may

Hello, me and a friend are planning a 3 day hike to Mt Marcy and some other peaks on May 6th. I know it is mud season, and that it is not recommended but both of us are going home for summer and early may is the only time we can do it. We're both pretty experienced and have hiked Marcy in mid October when it was extremely wet and slushy. How do the conditions in May compare to mid October?
