I'm sick of doing the usual ordinary easy-to-colonize biomes, and I decided to try out a mountain biome. The thing is, I'm going to run into both a severe wood and water shortage. Can I get some tips on how to overcome these challenges?

Edit: Of course, any tips on any hostile biomes are welcome, I'm just curious at how to survive.

You can ask the liaison for wood (and wooden barrels and buckets, should you need those). It's also dirt cheap. The same applies to coke, potash, lye and charcoal.
Water is a more complex issue - I suggest try and dig out the caverns, there's usually a lake down there.

With enough rock pots, you should never need water at all, until you find some anyways

Look for the caverns and begin a pump stack to a cistern, make the cistern large enough that you won't ever need to pump into it again.

And of course, bring around 100 wooden logs to start off.

I embark usually on near-woodless and waterless biomes and i bring 20-30 wood, with no axe.

The caverns are likely to solve both problems. Wood can also be imported in large enough amounts to run a fort, particularly since you can use rock for barrels now. Just go to magma for a metal/glass industry.
