Within the last two weeks, Colorado ranch land snowpack has jumped from 69% of average to 90% of average. This is due to numerous spring snow storms dumping feet of snow statewide. Ranches for sale in the northern half of the state saw the majority of this heavy spring snow. The 8 major River Basin snowpack totals are as follows:
