In the graph below you see the time zone difference between Mountain Daylight Time and Pacific Standard Time. Drag the bubble to adjust the time and to see the corresponding time in the other time zone.
Mountain Daylight Time is the time zone of the US and Canadian states around the Rocky Mountains, including cities like Edmonton, Calgary, Denver and Salt Lake City. Pacific Standard Time is the time zone of the Canadian and US West Coast, with places like Seattle, Vancouver, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Usually it is preferable to schedule meetings any time from the morning for the person in MDT and any time from the morning for the person in PST.

MDT is observed in the Western part of central US and Canada, as well as the North West corner of Mexico. It is 6 hours behind UTC and turns into MST in the summer. In Mexico, this time zone is known as Zona Pacifico (Pacific Zone). The name Mountain Daylight Time comes from it covering the Rocky Mountains in Western United States.
In the US, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming are all observing Mountain Daylight Time but there is also a bunch where part of the state observe MDT and part another time zone, like CDT or PDT.
MDT is observed in parts of Canada, the US and Mexico. The only province in Canada to be fully covered by MDT is Alberta whereas other provinces like British Columbia and Northwest Territories are split between MDT and PDT.
In Mexico, it is only the states in the north western corner of the country, including Baja California, Sinaloa and Chihuahua that observe MDT.
The largest city observing Mountain Daylight Time is Phoenix, followed by Denver and El Paso/Juarez.
MDT is observed in almost all locations that observe Mountain Time, except the states of Arizona (US) and Sinaloa (Mexico). DST is in effect between March and November and adds one hour time difference to UTC.
Pacific Standard Time is the time of the Western United States and Canada and is typically abbreviated as PST. It is 8 hours behind GMT. This means that when the clock is noon in London (GMT), it is 4AM in Seattle (PST).
Most of the Western US and Canada are following Pacific Standard Time.
This can be a bit tricky as most states on the US Pacific Coast do apply daylight saving time, calling PST for PDT, or Pacific Daylight Time, instead and sets the clocks in November and March respectively.
