I don't think a camera would be good enough. You need to be able to investigate the layers involved. Maybe some kind of probe that measures temperature/composition as it penetrates the snowpack. And then take regular sampling along a ridge, etc. I suppose if you were to spend a lot of money you could have a drone drop the probe, too. Or maybe there's some kind of radar or whatnot that could penetrate the snowpack and measure density layers and so on.

Hey cmrdporcupine - I’m a Saab 900 classic person - have daily driven them for several years. I’m very interested in EV conversion; I would honestly like to talk if you have an 84’ spg in good physical shape that you’d potentially like fully rejuvenated and teslaabified! Is there a good way to message you or can I give you my e-mail or something? Thanks. Dan. An 84 spg? 85 maybe? Would be an excellent opportunity.

Oh, hai? I mean, I have not actually attempted to EV convert. I do have an 84 SPG in half-disassembled condition in my garage. Brake lines corroded out, so I have to bend new ones and am too lazy to do it so it's sat for a few years. Like all old 900s in the northeast it has rust. Fender arches. But unlike the other 900 I had, the floorpan isn't corroded out. Engine ran at one point, probably would again. No idea about transmission (manual), might be ok. Interior is all pulled out so I could get at the brake lines.

Oh, and I'm in Ontario.

I have a vision, if I were to meet someone with an 84’ spg in their garage that wanted to be part of that vision in the early going - could work well for both of us! Thanks.
