I'd say you're fine but it also depends on weight and what ski and what you're using them for

Depends on the ski.  It's definitly not too big though.  Too small if anything, but it will probably be fine for park.  for pow its probably too small.

168 is 5'6 so.. either you aren't 5'7 or the skis arent 168.. im guessing the former.. no head height is about right give or take a few cm.. depends what ski and what person, and how much you weigh..

It will be fine then.  Personal preference.  I was 5'9 140 and rode a 169 Fujative when I started park, it was great, no regrets, now I ride 178 Anthems and I'd be fine with a mid 180 park ski, but Anthems are fine.
