Do yourself a favor and learn how to transition to your new edges without a pivot, while also re-centering (strong foot pullback) and flexing to release.  The RTE (release, transfer, engage) is just as important, if not more so, in deep thick snow.

Skiing deep snow or thick crud will definitely reveal to you if you are still pivoting the entry into your turns.

I would say that I don't pivot my turns. As I said, I'm pretty much a PMTS follower, and that's the way I try to ski. Not as well as a lot of you guys, for sure, but I'm not a steerer-pivoter kind of skier, so that helps. I think the area where I could probably benefit the most is by working on my flexing to release, being a bit more dynamic with that.
