Yes I know, but Profdant post talked about driving north from Waterton to Lake Louise and visiting Peter Lougheed. The OP wants to do this in MAY
The only way to do this at this time is to take Hwy 22 from Lundbreck all the way via Bragg Ck to Junc.161 on Hwy 1 then east to Seebe and then south on Hwy 40 to Peter Lougheed.
Hwy 40 south of Peter Lougheed is closed till 14 June, when you are likely to see quite a bit of snow over Highwood Pass.

Regarding the weather, you have to take your chances I am afraid, we have seen Bow Lake iced over in early June and snow at Saskatchewan River Crossing on the Icefield Parkway on mid-summer day, 21 June.
