polar continental
over northern Canada and Alaska
The air masses that form over the northern Pacific and southwestern Alaska are known as maritime polar (mP) air masses. These air masses are characterized by cool, moist conditions and typically bring cloudy weather with precipitation when they move inland. They are influenced by the relatively warmer waters of the Pacific Ocean, which contributes to their moisture content.

I would use the word "polar" to describe an air mass that forms over Alaska. These air masses originate in the Arctic regions and bring cold temperatures and snow to the surrounding areas.
There are two types of air masses: COLD AIR AND WARM AIR.Cold Air Masses-Cold air masses can cause thunderstorms and even tornadoes.Warm Air Masses-Warm air masses can bring many hours of steady rain and snow.

A cold air mass originates over water or land that is colder than the air temperature at the time. Cold air masses usually originate in the northwest and travel eastward. A warm air mass is formed from warm water or ground temperature that is warmer than the air at the time. Warm air masses usually originate in the southwest and travel east or northeast.
Air masses get their characteristics from where they are made
