Made it up to the turn off where you start ascending the west slopes. I ran out of motivation to go any further...5 miles of breaking trail to summit Columbia wasn't worth it. It was difficult route finding through parts of the forest due to the big snow storm last weekend and no tracks to follow. It'll be much easier for you if my tracks are still there...sorry about any meandering...i did end up always finding the way when i got off route.
Plenty of snow covering the west slopes and the southwest couloir. I imagine the west slopes will be good for a week or two and the couloir for much longer.

Also, the bears are out. Saw fresh tracks on the road.
