I used to live in Anchorage. There are two awesome sets of single track in the city. One at Kincaid park and one near the ski area Hilltop. They are put maintained by the Single Track Advocates association (Known as the STA trails). Either Speedway bikes or Chainreaction Cycles will be able to help you find them.

Chainreaction puts on the Abominable Snowbike Series (http://www.chainreactioncycles.us) look at their site for maps that will have lots of good trails.

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

Looks like the Tony Knowles Bicycle Trail from downtown to Kincaid Park is my best bet.. thumbsup

Tony Knowles is awesome in the winter, the skiing association keeps it groomed and it's open to all. When you're out at kincaid, be sure to only ride on the single track. The skiers are really finicky about it, and rightly so since they pay for grooming of the ski trails. Once you get to the big chalet building(on your left at the top of a mile long climb from mile 8-mile 9 markers), stay on the path around the parking lot area and down the hill. Right before a climb starts, the road goes over a tunnel for bikers and skiers. On the right hand side you can drop down into the trail system and make your way onto the single track.

They probably have maps in the Chalet so you can see where the trails are. The new single track is sick nasty. Be sure to do the "toilet bowl", best flow in town.
