Hate to burst your bubble, but Virginia does not have any "really high mountains". The highest peak, Mount Rogers, is only around 5700 feet tall. The altitude should be of no concern.

However, the cold weather could cause problems. Blowing hot air into a really cold instrument is not good for the wood. Try to warm up the instrument up slowly. For example, hold it in your hands for awhile, or hold it under your jacket. Also remember that a cold instrument tends to play flat.

Personally, I would try to borrow someones plastic clarinet (or rent one), rather than expose my daily clarinet to extreme weather conditions.

Hope this help.
