Default less power after an oil and spark plug change

this bike stay at our property (in fruitland,ut for those who know where its at)
its around 6000 ft. i did an oil and spark plug change about 2 weeks ago.

the next day me and my dad took a 70-80 mile ride did some muddin at a near by lake(red creek) and ridge toped tabiona up to about 10,000 feet, obviosly it was cutting out by that time. i went as far as i could on that steep of a slope, it was a riot trying to climb it. not so fun to turn it around on the hill.

anyways the next day i was ridding around our camp at 6000 ft and and it was studdering when i got on the throttle. it wasnt doing this at all on our trip before
we climbed up tabby and i hadnt noticed it on the way back either.
this bikes jets havent ever been changed as far as i know it is jetted for salt lake city which is about 4000ft. im just wondering if i got a bad plug or something
i didnt have time to check the plugs before we left.

i appreciate any info

Check your plugs and filter.
Filter may be dirty and thus running too rich.
Going to that high of an altitude also will make the motor run rich.
Your plug will tell you the answer.

I would take two new plugs and some filter cleaning supplies next time you go up there if that doesn't fix it I would check my vaceume system on the carb and the diaphram it is possible you have something hindering your slide from comming up but probably just running to rich at those alltitudes and fouling up your plugs a little.
