Like the part on Caradhras (book) where he watches poor Aragorn and Boromir trying to dig thru the snow, then decides to go help out and states how much better Elves are suited for the task of anything snow-related--"...but choose an otter for swimming, and for running light over grass and leaf, or over snow- an Elf".

I don't think that Legolas was being immature, he was just showing high spirits and bringing a bit of much-needed levity to the weary company. He was starting out on a mission that the elves of old would have envied and he was heartier and more lithe than the rest of them, so he was probably just being good natured. I think the book Legolas is a much better and more rounded character than the Legolas in the movies, especially in the areas of his singing, friendship with Gimli, and less 'thank you Captain Obvious' statements.
