The major problem, at least theoretically, is that the icepack and glaciers scrape that mountain clean from top to bottom on the order of hundreds of years. You aren't going to have anything buried in the snowpack that is biblically old, no matter how much anyone wishes it were so. An ark placed on the top of the mountain in biblical times would have been a pile of timber at the bottom of the mountain thousands of years ago.

Not if it's hung up on a rock near the summit. Lower on the mountain with lots of acreage above- yes; near the summit- not necessarily. It thaws so often on top at >17,8000 ft.
Some people will never believe, even if Genesis 6-8 is proven beyond a doubt. God willing, your world will be rocked this summer.
"But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible."
Genesis 8:1-5
