If you've got the time and a car, a drive to Homer is always cool, and is a very scenic trip, although that and drive time will definately depend on the weather. You'd probably want to plan on spending the night there. Driving the other direction you could head on up through Wasilla to Talkeetna. Not quite as scenic a drive, but on a good day you will be able to see Denali (Mt McKinley,highest mt in North America). Pretty quiet up there in Talkeetna this time of year, but some of the air tour outfits fly tours around Denali year round if the weather cooperates. Look into Talkeetna Air Taxi, K2, Talkeetna Aero Service, and Hudson Air Service (make sure to call and see if they are flying, the first two outfits are pretty big and may be a better shot for a winter flight). Like Homer, probably best for an overnight trip. Check online for Homer and Talkeetna accomodation. If you do go to Talkeetna have a beer at the Fairview Inn for sure (notice the windsock on top, there's a gravel strip across the street). Lots of history there sitting on barstools on the right night. Also great live music sometimes, and they have rooms upstairs, although it's pretty loud from the bar noise.
If you can get away from city lights in Anchorage on a clear night look up and you may see the Aurora Borealis. You may even see it through the city lights.

Have fun. There's also some companies that do tailwheel endorsements if you need one or are interested. If you drive please beware of moose crossing the road. If you fly any there you may like this site
