That is in the sweet spot for vtpr in terms of size and weight. 
Look up Eric Poulin and Joel Metz with the Excalibur and Air100 for inspiration. It’s all about low and slow.

Hopefully it will be like a Ahi on steroids 

Could never bring myself to get an Ahi

Not sure how good VTPR will be on my slopes but it will be a great light air aerobics model if I can't get the hang of VTPR. 

Tried it once with the Graecalis. Turns out it was not slow and was too low. 🤣

Graecalis is a dog of an entirely different breed. A big air sky eater.

Not when I did rolls inches from the slop, it wasn't 

In fact it was a no air pile of bits🤣
