The Ash of War: Hoarfrost Stomp is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Cold affinity and the Hoarfrost Stomp skill. It is picked up mid-game, in Liurnia of the Lakes.
Hoarfrost Stomp has the wielder stomp hard to send a trail of ice spikes spreading across the ground, which burst a moment later. Both the spikes and the burst deal magic damage and build up frostbite, so most enemies vulnerable to frost are frozen by a single cast. It is fast to use, cheap and covers a wide area. It suits Dexterity and Intelligence builds of all kinds, and it is a popular pick for frost builds.
