More importantly, you want to get boots while you are still skiing
regularly, so you can test them on the slope and return to the
bootfitter for adjustments; it's not uncommon for this to take several
visits, so when you do get your boots don't be shy about returning. Plan
on it.

Yeah -- if you're still going to ski several times this year, I'd
buy now, if you have the money and time for it. Bootfitting is
time-consuming if you do it right; it's not a matter of just
giving them your size and getting a pair off the rack. I wouldn't
worry too much about them not having your size in stock, unless it's
very unusual -- the kind of shop that can do a good job of
bootfitting will still have a wide range of sizes, even late in the
season.

Speaking of "late in the season" -- WAMC in Albany says "up to 18
inches on the east slopes of the northern Berkshires and southern
Greens". WHEEEEE!!!!!
