Colorado's mountain snowpack is much smaller than it was a year ago. Thursday, experts conducted their first snow survey of the season near Berthoud Pass.
About 200 measurements will be taken each month throughout the winter. Right now, the snowpack is about 70 percent of what it was at this time last year.
Surveyors said the smallest amounts of snow are in the northwestern parts of the state.
