yah, but whats the point? He's most likely going to be skiing backcountry with them (I hope) those would not keep him afloat. Being a 6ft human being I know this from expirence with other peoples skis.

He could. But it wouldn't be fun.

NO. especially if hes bigger. if hes comming off traditional skis, hes gonna seemed wierded out by the comparitively longer lengths of twins. however, twins are forward mounted and have shorter running lengths cause of the tail. a 168 is FAR FAR too short, especially considering what he wants to do.

Dude, I'm 5'2 and I'm skiing on the 175cm VCT, and they feel short. Tell your friend to go at least for the 182cm, unless he's using them purely for park but that would just be stupid...

Definitely 182's.  Otherwise tell him he must have a 2 inch dick.  It is a fact, there is a 100% chance that if somebody is six feet tall and they ride VCT's, they have a 2 inch dick....hard.
