Sounds like a good trip as long as the off roading isn't one of your main draws. There are very few 4x4 trails that you are going to be able to do that time of year. Way too much snow for that.
And it will be mud season in most of the resort type towns. After the ski season has closed, but before most of the summer activities have begun.
Not telling you to not make the trip, but your activities are going to be limited.
When I say "mud season", that is just what the towns call the times between their main seasons. If you are trying to off road that time of year it won't be mud, it will be deep, wet, snow.
We used to do a lot of ATVing. Late May is about the earliest you can really get out and do any trails. And even then, you will run into large snow drifts.
