What is AKST in MST?
Mountain Time is 2 hours ahead
Alaska Time is on UTC−8:00 and Mountain Time is on UTC−6:00 right now. Both are on daylight saving, so their clocks read AKDT and MDT. That gap holds all year, because both zones change their clocks together.

Scheduling between the two
Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm AKDT, which is 11:00 am to 6:00 pm MDT. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.
Mountain Time (MDT) is used in Salt Lake City, Albuquerque and Calgary. Arizona keeps MST all year and does not follow MDT.
