If the ID turns out to be correct you might want to report it to the 
Colorado Herpetological Societey <http://coloherp.org/about/contact.php>
and/or the Colorado Division of Wildlife 
<http://wildlife.state.co.us/askdow/index.asp>

The herp society's list of species native to Colorado is here. 
<http://wildlife.state.co.us/askdow/index.asp>  It agrees with our other 
sources; no copperheads in Colorado.  This list is reportedly taken from 
the Colorado Division of Wildlife but I couldn't find it on their site.

I also found it interesting that you found this snake exposed in 42 
degree weather.  I'm surprised he was even able to move let alone get 
into a defensive posture at that temperature.
