Maybe lower temperature and pressure are causing a decrease in fluid volume?

Ogakor, going down a 6500' hill can wear the the pads which decreases brake fluid volume. If you have not changed the rear pads that wear twice as fast as the front due to regen braking, I would have them checked. Make sure the brake fluid is well above the min level also. At 70K, you have done twice the mileage as most of us. Someone may have checked your front brakes which normally wear faster, and didn't check the back brakes. Good luck, and I hope I've helped find your problem.
