There are lots of ways to find out more about snow sports touring.
Mountaineering Scotland runs a weekend training course each winter aimed at those members who commonly take the role of leader within a group, either as part of a club meet or when out with their peers. See here for details of our next snow sports touring weekend.
The following books and website may help you with your planning:
Ski Mountaineering in Scotland by Bennet & Wallace SMC ISBN -907521-20-7. This book was published in 1987 and is now very dated, but a new edition is due out in the not too distant future.

If you are looking for like-minded people to get out with and share your adventures, there are several clubs affiliated to Mountaineering Scotland who encourage and support snow sports touring.
