Map of, or books on trails and play spots?

[TraceyAZ]

Im new to finding areas to ride and been searching for a location or state specific book or guide that can tell me where to find good riding areas. I would need info on trail parking to include if its permissible to overnight in said lots, trailer size restrictions, where to ride and any other pertinent info. Ive tried finding some of the spots mentioned in threads on maps, but Im just not seeing them?
I don't want to get in trouble or bring down the sport itself with breaking any rules. I have zero friends who ride and I need time to build some skills in an area that might be a bit safer to learn before I bug others to tag along. Im not new to snowmobiling, but I am new to mountain riding and deep snow.
So is there info like that to be found or do I just need to go through thread after thread to find this stuff? Colorado and Utah is where I would like to focus on before making trips further. I know the season is starting to wind down and some areas do to time or lack of snow are about over with, Im more looking to get good info for next season so I can get a good jump on it when its time to ride again.
Thank you

I have been sledding for 25 years and am not aware of such a guide.

Dont worry about asking others if u can tag along. I have found that attitude is more important than skill while learning. Just be up front with prospective riders about ur skill level and what kind of ride it will be and then both parties can better decide if they want to give it a go.

We were all beginners at one time.

Also, I have heard that chama nm has some really good riding.
I have been to South Fork co a handfull of times and there is all kinds of riding there.

Thank you!

The maps are made by the USFS. They show which areas of the forest are open and closed to winter over snow traffic. The best source for groomed trail info and parking areas is the state and local clubs. The best ridding areas are found by riders and generally not mapped or reported. Best way to find the goods is to hook up with locals. Nobody, that I know of, has ever done a comprehensive snowmobile guide like you can find for hiking, biking, jeeping, etc etc.
