Last time I was up in the mountains, my Zetec felt terribly underpowered. If I was up there all the time, I'd probably see the point of buying a V8 SUV...
As to whether an e-RAM will work better or worse at high altitude, I can't say. Best case scenario: reduced air resistance enables it to spin to higher RPM, enabling the same absolute boost which becomes a larger percentage gain than at sea level. Wouldn't be surprised if that's an overoptimistic scenario, though.
