OK, so only done 4 winds trips but here is a few details that seem to work, ...besides staying in town for 2 nights to acclimatize...
For several of us on trips we seem to have overcompensating nasal stuff going on...
We usually have some psuedoeffedderenn..sorry doubled up on letters there just to be sure .
A small bit of ChapStick has helped (insert 2 sticks into nostrils) and laugh your asses off...
Other med kit stuff like a laxative is good also.(One poor guy was backed up for 5 days..ouch)
Pepto billsmall tablets are a must allso!
Anyway others notice the nose clogging booger problems at altitude?
Not so much the altitude but it's mainly the dry air in the rockies. If you live in the Cascades and do a trip in the rockies your body won't be used to the very low humidity levels. This can also contribute to "booging up" as everything dries out up in there!
