About Alaska Standard Time (AKST)

Alaska Standard Time (AKST, IANA: America/Anchorage and America/Juneau) is the time zone for most of the State of Alaska, set at UTC-9:00. AKST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March per the Uniform Time Act of 1966 + Energy Policy Act of 2005; Alaska switches to Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT = UTC-8:00) for the remainder of the year. The vast Alaska time zone covers ~3,200 km east-to-west — from Ketchikan to Atka in the Aleutians — and is the only US time zone that spans more than 1,000 miles longitudinally, meaning solar-noon in different Alaska cities varies by over an hour from local clock time. Major population centers: Anchorage (~290,000), Fairbanks (~95,000), Juneau state capital (~32,000). Used in coordination of cruise-ship schedules through the Inside Passage, North Slope oil-pipeline operations, US Air Force JBER and Eielson AFB activities, and Alaska commercial fishing season openings managed by ADF&G.

About Mountain Standard Time (MST)

Mountain Standard Time (MST, IANA: America/Denver and America/Phoenix) is the time zone for the US Mountain region and most of Canada's Rocky Mountain provinces, set at UTC-7:00. MST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March; the region switches to Mountain Daylight Time (MDT = UTC-6:00) for the remainder of the year — EXCEPT for the State of Arizona (excluding Navajo Nation), which stays on MST year-round per Arizona Revised Statutes §1-242. Major MST cities: Denver, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, El Paso, Tucson, Calgary, Edmonton. MST covers Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho (most), New Mexico, Arizona, parts of Texas + Mexico (Sonora). Population ~17 million in the time zone. Affects: NORAD Cheyenne Mountain operations, Denver Mile-High Stadium NFL game scheduling, Colorado ski-resort lift-operating hours, US Bureau of Land Management permit operations, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast schedule from Salt Lake City.
