Greetings Charles:
I am unfamiliar with the common name "Alaskan Pine". In fact, this term may not even be related to pine, but maybe in reference to hemlock, cedar, fir, spruce, Douglas-fir, etc.
Via a 2-minute Web search, I just noticed that western hemlock is infrequently referred to as "Alaska pine"; however, western hemlock is not native to Utah nor is it in fact a true "pine".
