The killer was Akiko Kinoshita's companion and body double Yoko Asanuma. Her motive was jealousy since Akiko always got fame and recognition, a as a body double, Yoko only got to play second fiddle to her at best.

Yoko first forged a letter in which Akiko said she was ill and wanted to commit suicide, then booked a room in the inn (which she knew about since she worked there part-time long ago) and arranged so they'd spend the night there.

The following day, Yoko drugged Akiko and knocked her out when they were out skiing. She later took off her ski outfit and put a white kimono on her, burying Akiko in the snow, which would cause her a deathly hypothermia. Yoko then put Akiko's snow clothes, which included a full-face mask; this let her return to the inn unnoticed, and since then on she used her knowledge of the place to play the role of both women, tricking everyone into believing that Akiko was in their bedroom due to her "illness".

Later, the false letter containing info about Akiko's supposed "illness" was found, and everyone thought she had run away to kill herself. This was "confirmed" when her body was located in the snow.

• The Legend of the Snow Woman is famous in these parts.
• This is the first case of death by freezing to death or Hypothermia, which is not in a backstory. In Night Road Murder Case, it was in a backstory.
• This is the second time that Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are skiing together, and Kogoro is still crashing into trees, and this time Conan is on a snowboard.
• In the post credit scene, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are all snowboarding, and Kogoro does not seem to be any better at that than he is in skiing.
