Is it clear when during your rides that it slips? Just spinning along, cranking out of the saddle, or spinning up a steep climb? I fear it may just be that your combination of horizontal dropouts, QR's, low gears, and steep California climbs that just might be too much for QR's. My success with QR's and horizontals is limited to road bikes with fixed gear drivetrains or compact double derailleur setups, which lack super-low stump-pulling gears.
Have you considered converting the hub to a bolt-on (solid) axle? It might be the cheapest and simplest solution here. Just have to carry a 15mm box wrench in your saddle bag.
