The answer depends on your income during the time you lived in Colorado.  You would not be considered a Colorado resident since you did not intend to stay in Colorado.  So therefore you have to consider the income you earned while in Colorado and whether it was from a Colorado source.  

Here is a link to see what the Colorado filing requirements are so that you can determine what may apply to your situation:
