Before going to higher elevations. That, and staying super-hydrated seems to help. You never know, though. I once visited Breckenridge and got altitude sickness and I live at about 6,000 feet. I didn't realize it was altitude sickness until I got back down to Boulder and realized I was "cured" from that sudden flu. Breckenridge is only about 9,500 ft.
