Performance is figured at sea level and a 59f (15c) day. Every foot you go above sea level the performance drops, and every degree warmer the same thing, resulting in a DA of say 9000 feet at a lake that is at 6200 feet.
A hover OGE is one thing at sea level, and a DA of 9000 or even higher is another.
