Why people convert PET to MST time

Scheduling a call from PET to MST: a 10:00 AM start in PET lands at 8:00 AM in MST, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both PET and MST are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM PET time (9:00 AM–3:00 PM MST). That is roughly 6 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: PET viewers need 7:00 AM in MST to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 2:00 AM if the event is anchored to PET.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -2h gap is not.
Block 11:00 AM–5:00 PM PET as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from PET and need MST colleagues present.
