"Skiing from village to village", as you call it, is nothing special in the Alps.
There are even some international ski areas. So for example, the following places are linked with ski lifts and slopes:

a) Morzine (France) - Avoriaz (France) - Champery (Switzerland) - Les Crosets (Switzerland) - Champoussin (Switzerland) - Chatel (France) - Morgins (Switzerland) - Torgon/Revereulaz (Switzerland)

b) Zermatt (Switzerland) - Breuil/Cervinia (Italy)

c) Ischgl (Austria) - Samnaun (Switzerland)

Good luck finding good vegetarian meals in the Alps. Overcooked vegetables and a salad that drowned in bacon dressing hours ago.
It is possible, but carry energy bars while skiing.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I took a closer look at the ski maps and complemented with actual maps from google. I can see St. Anton is connected to 6 others. Portes du Soleil, choice a) above, is also very interconnected. I'm sure there are many others as well.

Is it really hard to find vegetarian-friendly places? Is that on-slope or off the slope? I don't mind carrying energy bars for during the day. Maybe cooking is the way to go for the evenings. One of my friends is allergic to gluten so we'll probably do that anyway.

At most resorts, even small ones, you will find some vegetarian dishes

If there are no other options, you can have Germknödel (sweet, warm dumpling with jam inside) in every skiing restaurant. You will also find Fries with Ketchup. But then you'll have to try your luck to get more. To be 100% sure you should carry your own food with you.

Austrian food is excellent, and even at mountain huts the quality is usually okay, if the place is not too busy.

Many of the Austrian specialities are vegetarian:
Spätzle made with cheese or spinach
cheese dumplings
various soups (ask for vegetable broth)
Kaiserschmarrn (sweet but filling enough to be a main course)
...

All of these are available at most huts.
You won't have a problem, enjoy your meals.

As a vegetarian who's just been skiing in Austria, I can tell you that it's not impossible to eat there, although it really depends on your German language skills. I hardly know any german, and struggled trying to decipher the menus, only to end up giving up and ordering the ubiquitous pizza margarita! I worked out that one has best chance of finding something nice to eat by simply asking the waiter/ess if they have anything vegetarian on the menu, as people seem to have a proper awareness of vegetarianism.

Ski wise, I personally prefer the smaller ski areas in Austria as they have a unique intimate sort of charm. Several areas comprise a variety of unconnected small ski areas under one pass. The skibusses have always, in my experience, been excellent. Yes this is less convenient than a huge interlinked area, but you'll be rewarded by emptier pistes and a more rural feel.

Good places to start are, Ehrwald, Mauterndorf, Wagrain. There are hundreds though.

Have fun!
