Narrative:

After departing we heard the hydraulic pump cycle excessively. The flaps cwp (central warning panel) message and green flaps fault light illuminated and later the aircraft was pitching slightly. We did the non normal procedures. The procedure did not completely apply to our situation. After calling maintenance and dispatch we decided to land zero flaps knowing that our flaps were not functioning properly. We figured out landing distances and decided that runway 30L was best suited for our needs. Snow and ice were present so we decided to declare an emergency. We landed normally; exited the runway and canceled the emergency. The event was a result of a systems failure.
