Realistically, no—unless it has an effective anti-odor treatment and you didn't sweat heavily. Untreated synthetic base layers develop noticeable odor within 2-4 hours of active wear. Silver-ion treatments extend this to 1-2 days, but the treatments degrade with washing over the garment's life. For multi-day ski trips without laundry access, merino wool is a better choice. If you must re-wear synthetic, rinse it out and dry it completely between uses.
