Johnboy already asked, but he said it was only for size 14's
The conclusion is that you should check (and possibly reserve) with the hire shops in the resort before you leave, they are not a very common size so not all shops may have some in stock

johnboys wee sis, I guess you'd stand the best chance by skiing in the USA since we exported Anglo-Saxon feet to them, and they eat well. The bigger the resort, the better the chance of hiring the big boots, but you might have to buy.
If you want to buy, and be sure, go through the UK importers of ski boots - try SIGB (Snowsports Industries of Great Britain) for contact details - and ask them which retailers have taken delivery of size 15s. Now is the time to order them - the retailers take delivery of boots in the autumn, but might make a special order for you, so you could try a friendly hard-working ski shop.

johnboys wee sis, if you wanted to buy, call up Roy Topping in Comber (9187 3590). He may be able to help with that.

johnboys wee sis, get his feet measured in a ski shop. I meet lots of people who say they have size ???? feet. We then measure and put them into a pair of boots that are sometimes 2 sizes smaller. When was the last time he had his feet measured anyway?
