I'd expect the opposite - altitude, with lower outside pressure, 
would make it easier for a pressurized container to dump its fuel.  
I'd guess that you were dealing with some combination of a relatively 
full canister, warm canister or luck.  If you were in direct 
sunlight, the dark green canister can be warmed by the sun.  If 
there's one thing I appreciate in the winter, it's sunlight!
