I do have the XT ice rotors and ebc gold pads I had picked up after reading about potential issues but just not installed as of yet as I wanted to give stock a chance.
I have never ridden with you so just a suggestion, how much front brake was applied? You really need both brakes working hard for those stops. Did the front fade also?
again, as TandemGeek said, welcome to brake fade. It can happen. Consider also, if these were hydraulic brakes, you probably would have boiled the fluid.
