This is obvious to long time forum readers, but perhaps novel to others. What was the elevation at which you were titrated? If the CPAP was adjusted at a significantly lower altitude, it will need to be adjusted for the higher altitude. Some CPAP's do have automatic altitude adjustment, but many don't.

Also, there is less oxygen at higher altitdes. This can exacerbate the situation.
