EDT vs MST — cities and working rhythm
US East Coast summer offset (mid-March to early November), UTC-4. The narrower gap to Europe (only 4 h during northern-hemisphere summer) means early-morning EU meetings align with reasonable East Coast times.
US Mountain — Denver, Salt Lake City, most of Arizona (Arizona notably observes no DST, so it's MST year-round while its neighbours flip). Business hours 9 AM – 5 PM MT.
Time gap: MST is 3.0 hours behind EDT (standard-time offsets — daylight-saving flips shift this by an hour twice a year in most northern-hemisphere zones).
