Well I skied 170cm skis for years but I have been testing a few 180cm twin tips. I'm 5'10 and 11.5 stone. I'd suggest slightly longer than 169s if you are fairly ok going at a good pace.

haha depends what you think a good pace is, i like to ski as fast as a can but although i think im going fast i might not be going that quick lol. i was looking at icelantic pilgrims and their sizes seem really odd think its 169 or 182 nothing inbetween

182 if you think you're an experienced, good skiier, 169 otherwise. I spent 5 years on 165 skies and they didn;t hold me back for the first four....

sabraham, Sounds fine to me. That's what I ski on, but as ever it depends on what you doing / plan to do. Short = Agility / Long = stability

sabraham, A 169 Pilgrim would be ok as it's reasonably stiff for a twin - & we still have a couple of new 07/08 pairs available at a bargain price. However I think that the new longer 08/09 Pilgrim in 179cm would be better suited to your stats but it won't be available till end Nov/early Dec. You can demo both the 169 & the new 179 at the Chill Factor on the last Fri of every month but we could problably hook you up at either Castleford or MK if required.
