Best time to schedule a meeting
Standard 9–5 working hours do not overlap at all between MST and NZDT. Someone has to take an early or late call — or use asynchronous communication instead.

About MST
Mountain Standard Time (MST) is UTC−7. It is used in Denver and Salt Lake City in winter, and Phoenix all year.
Mountain Standard Time is UTC−7. Denver and Salt Lake City use it in winter and switch to MDT in summer; Arizona does not switch at all and stays on MST year-round, which means Phoenix agrees with Denver in winter and with Los Angeles in summer. The Navajo Nation, inside Arizona, does observe daylight saving, so the state contains both. Any scheduling system that maps "Arizona" to "Mountain Time" without the no-DST flag will be an hour out for eight months.
About NZDT
New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT) is UTC+13. It is used in New Zealand from late September to early April.
New Zealand Daylight Time is UTC+13, one of the few offsets past twelve hours and therefore a full calendar day ahead of most of the Americas. New Zealand's summer is the northern hemisphere's winter, so NZDT applies over Christmas — the opposite of every northern daylight-saving abbreviation, and a common mistake in end-of-year scheduling.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on MST switches to MDT (UTC−6) from March to November. So the 20-hour figure on this page is correct for the part of the year when both places are actually on these abbreviations, and changes by an hour outside it.
NZDT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in NZDT will appear to move by an hour for everyone on the other side, twice a year, without anyone changing anything.
This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
Frequently asked questions
What time is 9:00 AM MST in NZDT?
9:00 AM MST is 5:00 AM NZDT (next day).
Is NZDT ahead of MST?
NZDT is 20 hours ahead of MST.
Which time zone does this use?
MST is UTC−7 and NZDT is UTC+13. Both abbreviations denote a single fixed offset, so this conversion never shifts with daylight saving — what changes is which abbreviation a place is using at the time.
