In general, should be fine. Road is much better than it was in was in the old days.

Hey Chris,

When in doubt about local road conditions try Drive BC web site.

Have a look here Drive BC

Kevan

had some flooding and weather damage last fall, not sure if they got everything paved before it got too cold, but regardless, even a harley trailer queen could handle that road.

Very unlikely you would find any snow come may (perhaps a freak snow storm, very rare) but you should be prepared for some colder temps as the downdrafts through the mountains come off some snowy slopes.

The road should be no problem for your Beemer but the winters can run late in the Chilcotin.... A very large area on the Chilcotin Plateau sits at 4000-5000 ft elevation so May could still be a transition month ... The later you go in May the better....

Anahim Road
 

Search for Anahim Road or Heckman Pass Road in Google Images and you'll get lots of pics from other travellers. And as Kevan noted, Drive BC has an Anahim Lake webcam.

Also check BC Ferries for their spring/summer schedule out of Bella Coola. That way you could do a loop if you wanted.

The area can get lots of rain which may be as much of an issue as snow. The highway was out of commission last late summer fall, due to rain. It was back up after a few days though.
