Your Alpine Dashboard
Welcome to your mission control for the Centennial State. This intuitive tool provides all the time-related data you need on a single, clean interface.

- Format Toggle: Use the segmented control button to switch all times between 12-hour and 24-hour formats to suit your preference.
- Global Hubs: Quickly reference the time in other key international cities to coordinate across the globe.
An Essential Tool For...
Colorado's unique blend of industry and outdoor lifestyle makes timing crucial for everyone.
- Tech & Remote Workers: With major tech hubs in Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs, syncing for meetings is vital. Use this tool to join your virtual stand-ups on time, whether you're working from home or a mountain cabin.
- Outdoor Adventurers: Timing is a safety issue in the Rockies. Plan your hike to summit a 14er before afternoon thunderstorms, or book a timed-entry permit for a National Park. Know exactly how much daylight you have left.
- Skiers & Snowboarders: Don't miss a second of fresh powder. Know when the lifts open at Vail, Breckenridge, or Aspen, and plan your "last run" call perfectly.
- Academics & Students: Coordinate with research teams and meet deadlines for institutions like the University of Colorado Boulder or the Air Force Academy with precision.
Mastering Mountain Time
Colorado operates on Mountain Time and observes Daylight Saving Time (DST). This can be confusing, as its relationship with other time zones changes twice a year.
- MST (Mountain Standard Time): During fall and winter, Colorado is on UTC-7.
- MDT (Mountain Daylight Time): In spring and summer, it "springs forward" to UTC-6.
- No-Worry Calculation: This tool handles the DST shift for you. The displayed time for Colorado and the calculated difference from your local time will always be accurate, no matter the season.
