Facing east at an average 23°, Ultima gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cuchara does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Cuchara. Its top sits at 10,000 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
