Not effectively. The narrow 65-75mm waist provides virtually no flotation, so mogul skis will dive and wallow in anything more than a few inches of fresh snow. If you live in an area that gets frequent powder, a dedicated mogul ski should be a quiver ski, not your daily driver. On powder days, you'll want something wider—ideally 95mm+ underfoot.
