CIS: Really hard starting only at ski resorts??

So when I go to one of the resorts, Alta (8200ft) or Park City (6500ft), my 83-900T CIS doesn't want to start and defintely runs sluggish. To get it to start I have to floor the accelerator and crank the starter for up to 15 sec. Normally the car starts right up and runs very strong at 4500ft.
Since altitude seems to be the only variable in the equation I'm guessing that the reason it doesn't want to start is that the a/f mixture is too rich. With regards to running sluggish I'm stumped, the Lamda system should correct the tendency for the a/f mixture to be rich.
As for details on the car it has a tweaked APC, timing set to 18.5 BTDC @idle, MSD-BTM ignition retard, 136K miles, plugs set at 024", replaced all the rubbery things connected to the intake manifold.
Any ideas or similar observations are greatly appreciated.
Todd
