Much of it is different variations of a sub Arctic climate. On the North Slope you can find an Arctic climate, while coastal and Southeastern Alaska has a mid-latitude oceanic climate.
It can get quite hot in the interior in the summer (into the 80's and even 90's) and extremely cold in winter in the same place (below zero for weeks at a time). The southern and southeast coast is much milder, with temperatures warm enough for rain along with snow in the winter. It is also very wet in these locations, with some places receiving more than 100 inches of precipitation annually. On the North Slope, it is cold essentially all year, including extreme cold and wind in the winter. Snow is most abundant around south-central Alaska, averaging over 100 inches despite being warmer. There's about 30 - 60 inches through western and central Alaska, with even a bit less in the extreme north where it is so dry.
