UTC vs MST
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is UTC+0 year-round. Mountain Time (US & Canada) (MST/MDT) is UTC−7 in winter and UTC−6 in summer.
Because Mountain Time (US & Canada) observes daylight saving and the other zone does not, the gap changes during the year: 7 hours behind in the northern winter and 6 hours behind in summer, with a few weeks in spring and autumn where it's an hour different again. The converter uses the exact rules for the date you choose.

Scheduling between UTC and MST
The working-day overlap is a few hours: morning in the zone that's behind matches afternoon in the zone that's ahead. For example, 9 AM UTC is 3:00 AM MST. Always write the city alongside the abbreviation in invites — several abbreviations (CST, IST, AST) are used by more than one region.
