About Mountain Daylight Time (MDT)

Mountain Daylight Time (MDT, IANA: America/Denver during DST window) is the summer-time variant of MST, set at UTC-6:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the Energy Policy Act of 2005. MDT shares the same UTC offset as Central Standard Time (CST), which can cause cross-time-zone scheduling confusion during the DST transition windows in March and November. The Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona does observe MDT (unlike the rest of Arizona), creating one of the rare US sub-state time-zone exceptions per the Navajo Nation Council's 1968 resolution. MDT applies in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho east, New Mexico, parts of Texas, and Canadian Rocky Mountain provinces (Alberta, eastern BC). Used in coordination of: Denver International Airport flight operations, ski-area lift hours during shoulder-season DST window, Yellowstone National Park ranger schedules, US National Renewable Energy Lab operations, and FAA Albuquerque ARTCC ATC operations.

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.
