No. The east side of a mountain isn't always the dry side.
In the mountains above Albuquerque, that's not true. The dry side faces west, overlooking the city. The east side has the trees, gets lots of snow, and is favored for skiing.

Ms. Sue and Writeacher are correct. Prevailing winds do come from the west, so sometimes the east side of a mountain may be drier than the west, but it's not always the case, depending on local conditions. Generalities are often misleading.
