The Aspen School District canceled classes for Monday because of the snowstorm that started late Sunday and dropped nearly a half-foot of snow at the resorts.
The district declared the snow day early Monday morning. The cancellation includes Aspen Community School and Aspen Country Day.
This is the second time in less than a month classes are canceled. It happened on the first Friday of February after a major storm hit the mountains for three days.
According to the district policy: “When schools are closed all scheduled activities in the school building are canceled and sports events and practices are postponed.”
