When the difference changes

Moscow Time and Mountain Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:

  1. Now – March 14, 2027Mountain Time is 10 hours behind
  2. March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Mountain Time is 9 hours behind
  3. November 7, 2027 – onwardsMountain Time is 10 hours behind

Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.

Daylight saving

Moscow Time

No clock changes

Moscow Time stays on MSK all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Mountain Time

Sunday, March 14, 2027

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on MDT after that.

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Moscow and one in Denver — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Moscow is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Denver.

Moscow Time (MSK) is used in western Russia. Russia abolished daylight saving in 2011.

Mountain Time (MST) is used in Salt Lake City, Albuquerque and Calgary. Arizona keeps MST all year and does not follow MDT.
