Screw 'em. If you and your family are going to be comfortable with your decision, then move on. If you don't, your resentment towards any pitfalls will magnify and you'll just be angry and hate yourself for not making the leap on your timeline - that YOU spent 30 years planning for.
Chances are very good that some other line of work will find you that makes you happy while you're out there doing the outdoor activities that keep you sane. It might be part time, it might be volunteering at the food bank or the tool library or maybe you can take ski patrol training, but you don't have too search for it, you can let it happen organically.
Like dad911 said, the naysayers are probably jealous.
