175's wil be about as tall as he is, 170 will be around his forehead and eyes. if he is new to skiing in general I might go with some 169 fujitives since they are softer and just a tad shorter. however if he is still growing go with the 175's

i'm about his size and started on a 167 twin but quickly moved up to a 177 size (and wider). depending on ability but yeah i'd say he'd be better off getting 175-ish twins

are you sure this isnt about you and you are just using the "a friend" trick as a cover up? I've seen it a thousand times.
