For each skew shape we define a nonhomogeneous symmetric function,
generalizing a construction of Pak and Postnikov.  In two special
cases, we show that the coefficients of this function when expanded in
the complete homogeneous basis are given in terms of the (reduced)
type of $k$-divisible noncrossing partitions. Our work extends
Haiman's notion of a parking function symmetric function.
