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

Scheduling between the two
Working hours overlap from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm MDT, which is 9:00 am to 4:00 pm AKDT. 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.
