Have you tried 

\startitemize[columns,three]

instead of \startcolumns?

There are examples in the manual on page 16


The spacing can be adjusted as well if the default is too big.

[NTG-context] How to stop columns from splitting up items in a list?

[Joel via ntg-context]

I am writing a workbook that contains a materials list in front of some craft 
activities. 
I found that simply displaying a bulleted list can take up lots of space on the 
page, so instead put the list in three columns. The problem is, if there is an 
item with a somewhat long description, it can be split across columns. See the 
example below:
\starttext    \startcolumns[n=3]%    \startitemize[1]% \item 
pizza cutter \item a word processor (or notebook paper) 
\stopitemize% \stopcolumns%\stoptext
In the example, it split the second item across the columns.
How can I create columns that don't allow the item to split across them?
