5pm PST is 6:00 pm MST
5pm PDT is 6:00 pm MDT in Mountain Time. That answer holds on every day of the year, because these two zones never drift apart.
What time is 5pm PST in MST?
It is 6:00 pm. Mountain is 1 hour ahead of Pacific, so you add 1 hour to 5:00 pm and the date does not change. 5pm is evening in Pacific, dinner and the end of the working day, while 6:00 pm is evening in Mountain, dinner and the end of the working day.
ISO 8601 would write this instant as 2026-09-24 00:00Z, the same moment expressed with no zone opinion at all. Both 5pm PST and 6:00 pm MST are local readings of that one instant, which is the only thing either clock is really describing.
5pm PST to MST in the hours either side
The four hours before and after 5pm, in case the meeting moves. The whole window stays on the same day in Mountain, so only the hour changes.

| 2:00 pm | 3:00 pm | same day | both sides |

Is 5pm PST a good time to call MST?
Marginally. 6:00 pm in Mountain is outside the 9:00 am to 5:00 pm working day but still a civilised hour, dinner and the end of the working day. Reasonable for something brief, poor for anything that needs a full room.
Does daylight saving change 5pm PST to MST?
Not for this conversion. Sampled at 5pm on every day of 2026, the gap between these two zones comes out the same every single time, so 5pm PST is 6:00 pm MST in January and in July alike.
Pacific Time is currently on PDT and changes next on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC-7 to UTC-8.
Mountain Time is currently on MDT and changes next on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC-6 to UTC-7.
5pm MST to PST, the other way round
Running the question the other way is a different conversion, not a mirror image, because the two zones can be in different daylight saving states on the same date. 5pm MST is 4:00 pm PST, which is a different reading from the answer above, because the two directions are separate questions. One wrinkle worth knowing: PST and PDT are two names for the same zone, not two zones. Pacific Time reads PST in winter and PDT in summer. When somebody types "pst to mst" they nearly always mean the zone rather than the literal winter offset, so this page resolves PST to America/Los_Angeles and MST to America/Denver and applies whichever offset is genuinely in force on the day.
